or
print('{a=} and b={a}')
This already exists. Kindly stop reinventing the wheel.
the thing that does not exist now is:
print('In this context, variable', 'name', 'means an esoteric thing
that we all know about')
where `'name'` can be substituted easily (the 'nameof' case) but it could
be, as an example:
print('In this context, variable {name!i} means an esoteric thing that
we all know about')
(my favorite, but interpreter maintenance costs trumps my preferences)
or could be done as:
print('In this context, variable', typing.ID['name'], 'means an
esoteric thing that we all know about')
which wouldn't change the interpreter at all, (but would change the stdlib).
Either way, the 'nameof'-support needs editor support, because it is an
*editing* use case, the interpreter just doesn't care.
(It could, but it *can't* do anything without the *editor* responding to it)
