So my position is:

Yes, perhaps if typing annotations had not chosen the colon but used a
whitespace delimiter instead, adding a few more colons to the source would not
be an issue.
But in combination, it feels like there will be way too many colons in a
potential future Python. One of the things I liked about it historically was
its relative lack of punctuation and use of short words like in, and, not, as, etc.
As mentioned before, I liked := for assignment in Pascal, but presumably since
we are keeping == for testing, there's not as strong of an argument for that
spelling.
