Absolutely -1 on this. Consider the following example:

Do you see how this creates an ambiguous situation? Implicit attribute
lookup like this is really confusing. It reminds me of the old `with`
construct in javascript that is basically forbidden now, because it
created the same situation.
I don't believe it's ambiguous. The intention is that:
text .= encode('latin1')
would be equivalent to:
text = text.encode('latin1')
However, I'm also -1 on it.
