Also, these "binding expressions" are not exactly plain assignment, as it has been known. Aside from the restriction to binding only to a simple name, and the fact that they're also an expression with the same value, how are they not the same as plain assignment? Any discrepancies should be considered bugs.

They only bind to simple names, and they can occur in expressions. ;)
