I want to be able to say:

I don't see ALL being set a big problem, and less work than typing several of them out again.
Because, some of the parameters might be things that are just passed to another constructor to create an object that is then referenced by the object being created. If one doesn't want the object's namespace to be polluted by that stuff (which may be large and also now can't be garbage collected while the object is alive) then a set of "del self.xxx" statements is required instead, so you've just replaced one problem with another ;) I'd rather just explicitly say what I want to happen rather than have *everything* happen and then have to tidy that up instead ...
