No, that limitation wouldn't exist, so you wouldn't have to explain it ;-)
I.e., the above would act like
class Foo:
x = Bar()
def method_1(self, _anonymous_arg_1):
x.y = _anonymous_arg_1
and would do whatever it would do now (probably look for a global x or a
closure cell x, but
it wouldn't find the class variable in a normal method call)
