Me too.  I don't have any huge opinion on the proposition one way or
another, but I must say I do find it reassuring in Python to know that
(at present, without the proposal) whenever I see an assignment, I
always know that there's going to be a rebinding/attribute assignment
taking place.  Assignment seems so fundamental an operation that I'm not
sure whether it would be net good or net bad to have it overridable.
