Well, there are other common magic __underscore__ symbols in Python
besides __call__; __init__ is probably the most common one. (Though I
haven't done much with Python in a while.)

Python is certainly much less verbose than C++, but C++ is a lower-level
language. It's more appropriate to compare Python to Perl (the original
topic here) and Ruby than to C++.
