I'm opening this thread to discuss and collect feedback on a language change to
support keyword arguments to be self-assigned using variables names.
Proposal
--------
Taking the syntax from [bpo-36817](https://bugs.python.org/issue36817) which just [made it to
Python
3.8](https://docs.python.org/3/whatsnew/3.8.html#f-strings-support-for-self-documenting-expressions-and-debugging)
the `<keyword name>=` syntax would be valid and have the the same effect as `<keyword
name>=<keyword name>`, so these two statements would be equivalent:
```python
foo(bar=bar, qux=qux)
foo(bar=, qux=)
```
I wasn't in favour of the original proposal, and that at least had the
excuse of just being for debugging. Imagine how much less I am enthused
by this.
Explicit is better than implicit.
