Comment (by kcrisman):
Although I agree that this can be a problem, I wonder if this is too far
from "standard" Python. Maybe it's better to teach people that you can
clobber things, like [http://sagemath.org/doc/prep/Programming.html
#gotchas-from-names-and-copies here]. I guess I'm agnostic on this
proposal as of yet, though I suppose `var('y')` does something sort of
similar - maybe it should have a longer message, too?
