There are two problems. One is defining interfaces. The other is
referring to compound types. My syntax for the former was almost the
same as Martijn's (and thus non-Python). My syntax for the other was
directly based on Tim's. Neither of my syntaxes are "Python" but neither
are Tim and Martijn's. 

Perhaps you can quote the syntax that you object to and propose an
alternative.
