This, in addition with locals().update(_), feels much better to me. Furthermore, it would allow other string-like classes, such as bytes or bytearray, to use that feature.

But locals().update() isn't a supported operation, except in the situation where locals() is globals(). So what you're suggesting would work fine in the REPL but not in any production usage.
