Alas:
$ python3 -c 'False = True; print(False)'

SyntaxError: assignment to keyword
Someone in Python3 dev thinks it's a bad idea to shoot yourself in the foot.
Remind me some day to finish work on my "ultimate programming
language", which starts out with a clean slate and lets the programmer
define his own operators and everything.
Pro: The expression evaluator can be taught to interpret Dungeons &
Dragons notation - 2d6 means "random(1,6)+random(1,6)".
Con: The same expression might mean something completely different in
another program.
Pro: You can do anything.
Con: You can do anything.
I think someone already beat you to it. They call their invention "Lisp". :-P
