I really do not see the value in allowing such syntax in the first place. I've been told that one argument was that generated code might use it, but I have no idea why it would be needed. Furthermore, this operator makes it very hard to introduce Python-style tuples in the language.
IIRC the generated code argument was actually made with regards to the compiler doing internal rewriting of the AST. If I'm remembering correctly, this make it even weaker as, at that point, there is no reason that the form of the AST need match the syntax.
