No, the proposal was to keep print a function, but to allow alternative
syntax without brackets (that would still call it as a function).

printis now a function, and as such can be passed to something that
expects a callable. We would lose this if it were restored to a
statement. Consequently this would be a breaking change, so I don't
see it happening.

A lot of debugger use print to instrumentalize their code during
development or debugging, as in: "I want to dump some variable and run
my test again" or something like that. This means that they are
writing a line of code that has a lifetime of a few minutes if not
seconds. I believe that the parenthesis don't matter in the vast
majority of cases where a developer writes a print statement: because
they would delete afterwards ie. with git checkout -p or something.
As such, PEP8 would have to decide that parenthesis are the way to go,
even though bare print statements are nicer for debugging than
parenthesis based debug statements.
