The discussion so far made it clear to me that a) there is a use case for this feature, although I never needed it myself b) throwing new syntax at it is not the right solution Especially since there seem to be slightly diverging ideas about the exact details in behaviour. Since this can be done in form of a library, people should just drop it into a couple of competing libraries and let users choose what they like better in their specific situation. And since we already have a PEP now, let's continue to use it as a basis for discussion about how these libraries should best behave in general and what mistakes they should avoid.
