The thread referenced by that is taling about a different issue, i.e. using a different symbol to rebind names in an outer scope. Right, and that's also noted again in the accepted PEP which introduced "nonlocal" declarations: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3104/#rebinding-operator

Perhaps PEP 3099 could be amended to say "no alternative binding operators for the purpose of distinguishing local and nonlocal bindings."
