Something similar to your suggestions are already possible through third 
part extensions like EasyExtend or Logix. (Effectively implementing a 
separate compiler.)

Readability (one way to do it...) are a central part of the Python 
philosophy. This philosophy means that it is important that code written 
by one developer should be readable by others.

Your suggestions have little to no chance of making it into the core 
Python distribution.

All the best,
