I really should have said "rebinding" instead of "rebinding/attribute
assignment."  I misspoke, sorry.

I know

	something = somethingElse

is always going to mean rebinding, and I like that.  I don't mind if

	something.subSomething = somethingElse

can mean different things; that seems very reasonable, in fact.
