I had an idea for an abstract representation of the feature Nutchanon
described. Let's call it aliasing and let's define it intuitively:
a = 1
b alias a
print(b) -> 1
b = 2
print(a) -> 2
The abstract representation would define a new construct
_aliased_identifier_ (aid in short), which will behave

Hey Everybody,
I do want to thank you for this souvenir. I've having it blown up and mounted
on the wall. I'm going to leave some space for the benchmarks that compare my
module and his with the standard set implementation.

That's not an implementation yet. From the point of view of the
Python program, an identifier is an entry in a namespace. To describe
an implementation of something that acts on identifiers, you need to
