Raises the interesting question of a locus of functionality of immutable 
objects that would be to dictionaries much like tuples are to lists.

Mmmm...

Maybe "name munching rules" could grow to first-class values, and unify 
with both function parameter binding "action objects" and with (compiled 
code for ?) destructuring-restructuring assignment statements (such as 
a,b = b,a). Some kind of algebra is clearly possible, and would justify 
these being values.

Guess it means knowing the VM is part of a complete python education :(
