Yes, but Python is not math. This is a syntax-feature we are talking about, math is here just a tool, not the purpose. And it's also not running on hardware, but multiple layers higher.

Python already has the best design (fewest tradeoffs) in this small area.

You're proposing to break the expectations of millions and break offset math while you're at it. Not very compelling if you ask me.

I'm proposing nothing. I'm pointing out a flaw, for me. Nobody will change this at this point. Nobody should change it at this point. There is no benefit in this, just harm.
