Just had another thought about marking assignment targets.

The PEP currently forbids repeating bound names in a pattern
to avoid raising expectations that

    case Point(x, x):

would match only if the two arguments were equal.

But if assignment targets were marked, we could write this as

    case Point(?x, x):

and it would work as expected.
