At this point all I can say is that I definitely dislike the PEP 318
proposals and I somewhat like my proposals.  PEP318 look like ugly
kludges added on as an afterthought and they are inflexible.

I will agree for now to keep looking for something better we can agree
on.

I don't agree with your argument about 'once'.  Many sugar keywords
replace very little typing.  Look at the 'prop' keyword.  It is not just
the typing, it is readability.  The 'once' keyword greatly enhances
readability by getting rid of all the "if" noise.
