It should be written down in the devguide at devguide.python.org.

I agree with Serhiy that this isn't really adding anything by making the code that much more readable, idiomatic, or faster to warrant the overhead of this issue or the PR.

While I appreciate the effort, Ram, I'm closing this issue as rejected and the related PR.
