I agree. And in Python, the main means of implicit (unwritten) quoting is
to use a statement instead of an expression. For instance, a=b <=>
set('a', b) and import xyz <=> xyz = __import__('xyz'). In a def
statement, everything is quoted *except* the default arg expressions. But
I am not sure how this understanding helps you.
