I don't entirely agree with that. There are currently two
existing constructs in Python for creating objects that know
their own name, 'def' and 'class'. They don't look like forms
of assignment -- rather, they follow the pattern
<keyword> <name> <some other stuff>
This leads me to think that any further such constructs should
follow a similar pattern.
