What Piotr's proposal crystalised for me is the idea that we really have two different kinds of name binding in Python. I'm going to call them "incidental binding" and "definitive binding".

Perhaps "definitional" is another way to describe the latter. class statements and def statements both define a new object and bound that new object to a name. -Barry
