Name-binding:
x = 1
operates on the name "x", not the object. The object 1 does not know it
has been bound to anything -- that's one weakness of the "tag" model,
because it implies that objects know what tags they have attached. They
don't.
Imports:
import x
also operates on the name x and not the object.
