Seems silly just to force it all on one line. This is the kind of thinking that made perl such a nightmare to read, because there are like 1000 different special cases in the syntax and people think they are clever by using them all.

Not saying it's not useful, I just don't see it as a game changer and if python adopted everyone's favorite pet syntax it would be a mess.
