Absolutely -1 on this. Consider the following example: def encode(s, *args): """Force UTF 8 no matter what!""" return s.encode('utf8')
text = "Hello, there!" text .= encode('latin1') Do you see how this creates an ambiguous situation? Implicit attribute lookup like this is really confusing. It reminds me of the old `with` construct in javascript that is basically forbidden now, because it created the same situation.
