Note that the Sage computer algebra system uses Python with some
syntactic changes implemented by a "pre-parser".
The current proposal could be implemented in a similar way and then
integrated in, say, Ipython.
If it would prove to be wildly popular, then it would make a stronger
case for incorporation in the core.

No, no, no, if the people who provide this http://www.scipy.org/ can
do without it.
Now would you please be kind enough to give up with this dead horse

As iPython is a core part of scipy, which I linked above, why would the
developers want to incorporate this suggestion? I'd have also thought
that if this idea was to be "wildly popular" it would have been done
years ago.
