New submission from Dan Snider <mr.assume.away at gmail.com>:

>>> import dis
>>> @dis.dis
... def funcdef(k): return k in {None}                          ...                                                               2           0 LOAD_FAST                0 (k)
              2 LOAD_CONST               1 (frozenset({None}))                4 COMPARE_OP               6 (in)                               6 RETURN_VALUE
>>> regass = lambda k: k in {None}
>>> dis.dis(regass)
  1           0 LOAD_FAST                0 (k)
              2 LOAD_CONST               1 (frozenset({None}))
              4 COMPARE_OP               6 (in)
              6 RETURN_VALUE                                    >>> dis.dis(walrus:=lambda k: k in {None})
  1           0 LOAD_FAST                0 (k)
              2 LOAD_CONST               0 (None)
              4 BUILD_SET                1
              6 COMPARE_OP               6 (in)
              8 RETURN_VALUE

As the third example demonstrates, the code for the anonymous function assigned to walrus by an assignment expression isn't receiving the relatively recent frozenset optimization.
