Stylistic choice; I can appreciate your sentiment, but remember that 
this isn't exactly a function definition.  It's a form of 'delayed 
expression.'  Also, <... with ...> is nearly identical (identical if you 
replace 'with' with 'for') to existing list and generator 
comprehensions, so we'd get to stretch that idiom.
