How about macros?  Some pretty horrible things have been done in C
programs with the C preprocessor.  But there's a movememnt afloat to
add hygienic macros to Python.  Got any thoughts about that?

Why should you care whether the output of a macro is ugly or not,
if no human is ever going to look at it?

A print -method-?!!  You /really/ want to say

  your_name  = "Carl"
  your_favorite_cereal = "cornflakes"
  ("Hi", your_name, "how about a nice bowl of", your_favorite_cereal).print()

instead of 

  your_name  = "Carl"
  your_favorite_cereal = "cornflakes"
  print "Hi", your_name, "how about a nice bowl of", your_favorite_cereal

????

I've heard of people wanting to replace print with a function, but
hadn't heard of replacing it with a method.  Are you trying to turn
Python into Ruby?
