This comes up a lot and it would be nice to clean it up.
T = type('T', bases, ns) Record = namedtuple('Record', fields)
It came up in the discussion on dict unpacking:
a, b, c = **dict # unpacks keys 'a', 'b', 'c'
which was rejected as too magical. But maybe it will seem less magical if we have a special assignment operator that takes the left hand symbol(s) and copies them to the right?
It also comes up in @public for constants, which I currently support as: public(a=SomeA()) Cheers, -Barry
