I would argue no. Non-dotted assignments resulting in arbitrary code
execution sounds to me like a metric ton of magic and a great way of
confusing the hell out of any and all future readers of your code. I
know I'm a curmudgeon when it comes to syntax, but I would really like
to see a *sane* use-case for the potential feature (though I doubt one
exists).
