Incredible as it may seem <wink>, there have been serious 
discussions about this on python-dev, and there's even a PEP

http://python.sourceforge.net/peps/pep-0215.html

But for the moment the discsussions
 have not converged anywhere,
the main problem being how to disentangle
the confusion wrt to the old idioms (deprecate them
(hard because of legacy),
or organzize things in a hierarchy of increasing 
functionality but how) and the syntax.

Don't hold your breath (see 
http://www.python.org/doc/essays/pepparade.html
), anyway we cannot
support this indipendently from Python.

regards.
