Thank you Jonathan,
Could you please elaborate on your suspicion, that my proposed addition will
make bad code easier to write?
It would be nice if you provided example, where there is a pattern using my
proposed addition, where similar badness of code cant be achieved using already
existing python constructs.
Also, some explanation why would you deem it as bad code would be helpful.
Regards,
Dominykas
Now is better than never.
Although never is often better than *right* now.
While deferred evaluation is the happy midst of this temporal confusion.
