Since this example has been brought up by a few folks now, I'll note that "import x.y.z as c" has never been entirely equivalent to a simple assignment, since it *also* avoids the default binding of "x" in the current namespace. These days, it's diverged even further, since we added a fallback to looking for the full "x.y.z" key in sys.modules if any part of the submodule lookup chain gets an AttributeError. The proposed name binding expressions aren't like that - they really are just an ordinary binding of the result of the given expression to the given name.
