Reminds me of LeLisp! It had a similar feature.  IIRC you could write
for example (I think 'df' was LeLisp for 'defun'):
(df mycar (a . b) a)
or
(df mylist L L)
or
(df mycaadr (a (b . c) . e) b)

I didn't know that this was possible in python and it does surprise
me.  It feels at odd with the python philosophy.
