It seems to me that the number of people for whom both of the following hold: 1. Writing out the assignments "longhand" is an unacceptable burden. 2. Using a decorator (which can be written directly in your project, doesn't even need to be an external dependency) is unacceptable. is likely to be small enough that it's not a compelling argument for adding new syntax. Add to that the fact that these people would be arguing "I want the ability to avoid writing out the assignments, but I don't want that capability enough to use a decorator" - which hardly says that a syntax change is vital - and it's difficult to see this proposal getting accepted.
