Currently in Python `arr[1]` is the same as `arr[ 1 ]` (notice the added
spaces). How is it taken into account in you proposal, does one match and the
other doesn't ? Are those line equivalent or not :
arr[1], arr[3] = **{'arr[3]': 33, 'arr[1]': 11}
arr[ 1 ], arr[ 3 ] = **{'arr[3]': 33, 'arr[1]': 11}
arr[1], arr[3] = **{'arr[ 3 ]': 33, 'arr[ 1 ]': 11}
If not that would mean that the style of writing changes the execution of the
program, which was never the case before AFAIK.
