That sounds sensible, I hadn't thought about the terminology that
carefully. But in case anyone disagrees, the exact terms are not really the
point. The point is that this:
(a, b) = c
is 'assigning to a literal' just as much as this:
f"{a} {b}" = c
Both are just things that look like expressions with dynamic values but
aren't.
