That certainly would be a fine guideline. Only use it with all operators 
the same.

Everything else might cause headaches.

Restricting it language-wise? I don't know. I have to admit I've never 
seen this in production anyway. Most languages I see people working with 
don't have this feature at all. So, they don't know it exists in Python.

Best,
