-1 from me (on "too much pain for not enough gain" grounds).

P.S. I quite liked the initial "expr as name" version with subscopes, but
those aspects were changed based on reasonable concerns raised on
python-ideas, and I think the discussion of the simplified proposal on
python-dev has also raised sufficient further concerns to push the whole
concept back into python-ideas territory. (I do think the discussions have
clarified the nature of the cases where the current lack of any form of
inline binding support can be genuinely irritating, though)
