To repeat what the problem do I think I am solving? A variable, that

used to develop equally good hardware descriptions.
This is the part that you're not explaining: what does "a different
assignment behavior" mean? We all understand what Python means by
assignment (name binding), but we don't understand what you would like
it to be instead.
It seems that you want these two statements to work differently:
x = something() # bind a name for the first time
# ("create a variable", if you will)
x = 4 # do something different when x already exists
# and is of some special type
Is that true? What is the "something different"?
I've got to be honest with you: I don't see Python changing in this regard.
