My point is: Is it good to find extremely stupid things that can be
done with a code construct, and then blaming the code construct?
I can do way, WAY worse with assertions.
assert globals().__setitem__("len", lambda x: 5) is None
Obviously lambda is evil, because it can be used in this way.
This thread doesn't belong on python-ideas, and I don't see a lot of
value moving it to python-list either. Maybe it can move to Google
Groups instead?
