I'll have to think on this one a bit. So I'm undecided for now.
Could it possibly use the 'as' keyword?
create <callable> <tuple> as <name>:
<block>
It has also been suggested that a pattern where functions and classes
are assigned be used. Possibly something like...
name = class():
<block>
name = def():
<block>
name = create():
<block>
Or it could be...
name = object():
<block>
This is a bigger change than adding the create keyword, (definitely not
a pre-P3k item), and I'm not sure if it fits your use case, but it does
allow for a larger variety of types without adding additional keywords.
Cheers,
Ron
