It might still be possible to advocate for this in core Python,
even though the ship has sailed long ago.

Some previous discussion:

[2] http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0225/
[3] http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0211/

(My own take would be that one extra operator is enough for most
purposes, and would be easier to push for.)

This is true. However, I'd prefer to have one solution over several
conflicting ones.
