That dismissal (which made sense in my head when I wrote it) fails to survive on re-reading it. Sorry. Of course it could be optional in the sense of being explicitly opt-in, e.g. with `let` assignments, rather than mandatory. But it won't be optional in the important sense that I went on to describe, namely that even if I personally don't use this feature, I'll still have to deal with it. -- Steve _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/OTKXK5M2RMU3ZLL5O6O7AFBZWCPV6MQJ/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
