How about this, Brendan?

I'm not sure I love this, but I don't hate it.
That's clever, but why bother? I can already do this with existing
Python:
D = b**2 - 4*a*c
x1, x2 = (-b + sqrt(D)))/2, (-b - sqrt(D))/2
If the new feature encourages people to do something like your example
(or my earlier examples with the D definition inline in the expression
for x1), then I'd consider that another mark against it.
