Why no "def A.f (...)"?

Are there sensible reasons (performance, anomalies..) why
function definition is restricted to creating new identifiers
in the current namespace?
An extended syntax
def A.B.f (self, x):
<body>
with semantics like
setattr (A.B, "f", lambda self, x: <body>)
would be the most straight forward solution for my current problem,
creating classes at runtime. -- OK, of course there are *lots* of
other ways to do this, but it would also make the language a
little bit more homogenous IMHO.
Does anyone else see a use for this?
