I'd add one additional variant that could be a function, and that's
'del' when used on something other than a simple name:

>>> del values[2]

Conceptually, this is very similar to values.pop(2), only it doesn't
return the value.

But for its simple-name form, where it reverses the effect of
assignment to a simple name, it has to be a statement.
