To clarify, are you suggesting changing the source code of the Python
implementation and recompiling it?

If the keywords are changed in the Python executable, won't that break
the import of any Python module written for the standard keywords --
such as many of those in the standard library?

My understanding of the original poster's requirement was that the
keywords should be additional to, not replacement for, the existing
Python keywords.
