After writing this list, I thought about something which is
close to the current implementation, but avoids @. If it was
already suggested, please forgive me. At least I wasn't able
to find it in the PEP/Wiki:
<static>
def method(foo):
pass
and also
<accepts(int,int), returns(float)>
def bar(low, high):
...
Advantages over current syntax:
- Avoids introducing a new meaningful character in the syntax;
- Leaves Leo and IPython people happy;
- ">" is already being used on "print >>", so special casing
it wouldn't be something new;
- Not acceptable in the current syntax;
- Looks like a tag;
