or, as Random pointed out

which has a nice symmetry to it.
Could we use 'as', which is already used for renaming in imports?
a as x, b as y, c as z = some_dict
I'm okay with that.
or, perhaps:
'a' as x, 'b' as y, 'c' as z = some_dict
which would cater for keys that aren't valid as identifiers.
That probably makes more sense, especially since it's already the rare(r) case of needing/wanting to rename the keys. -- ~Ethan~
