--- Comment #1 from Dmitry Olshansky <dmitry.olsh at gmail.com> ---
This is a set of highly dubious advantages for essentially introducing a syntax
change across all of the langauge.

Easier to read? - Bleh, 7 years in, everybdoy loves the current one.

Parser lookahead is trivial, and parsing speed it not even remotely the
bottlneck. Lexing surprisingly is importnant, but parsing is mostly meh.

Simpler syntax for 1 parameter is not enough benefit and it we'd have to stick
with both for an enternity until code is migrated to "superior" syntax.

So, a clear WONTFIX.
