Remember that it must still be possible to write (in 2.6)

True = 0 assert not True Ah of course. Looks like I should just avoid optimizations of Name("True") and Name("False") all together. That's a shame! We can of course decide to make assignment to True and False illegal in 2.7 :)

Raising a run-time exception would be fine, but not a SyntaxError at compile time - this would effectively make it impossible to keep code compatible to Python 2.1.
