Guess I will chime in for the dissent: there is already so much Python language. The more special gotchas that are added just for these minor wins is not worth it. In fact, if I ever saw a function that was foo(bar=) I would correct that to be explicit immediately. ‘import this’ and all that. Said as a curmudgeon that has never used a walrus.
