As far as I recall, it wasn't consensus, it was Guido saying "No!" to
something I suggested and then me agreeing that his objections made
sense :)

(I forget what I was proposing at the time, though, I just remember it
involved a "NAME as EXPR" clause and Guido really didn't like it for
the reasons I gave)
