I haven't been following this thread very closely, so I'm not sure what the status is, but I'd just like to point out that yesterday I used the fact that a[None] = b works, when I used the @memoize decorator from the wiki. This seems to provide an argument that, for symmetry's sake, we might want to keep a.None = b as well.

That makes about as much sense as wanting to support a.42 = b since a[42] = b works. :-)
