My concern is that it would promote its own code flow at the expense
of readability. It's great for simple assignment, but doesn't allow
for anything else:

    in obj:
        first_attr = function1()
        temp_var_not_an_attr = function2(first_attr)
        second_attr = function2(temp_var_not_an_attr)

And what is the expected behaviour for something like:

    first_attr = "FOO"
    in obj:
        first_attr = "BAR"
        second_attr = first_attr

Is obj.second_attr "FOO" or "BAR"?  How do I distinguish between outer
& inner scope labels?
