Part of the point of the post you responded to is that assignment targets can be found in other contexts too - "for x[0] in iter:" uses x[0] as an assignment target, and there's no equals sign to be seen. You're right about the presence/absence of a dot being very subtle, but hang tight, wait for the next publication of the PEP; its authors are working on that exact problem.
