New submission from Brandt Bucher <brandtbuc...@gmail.com>:

It looks like assignment_helper is the only place where we actually change the 
semantic meaning of the AST during compilation (a starred name is changed to a 
regular name as a shortcut).

This probably isn't a great idea, and it would bite us later if we started 
making multiple passes or reusing the AST or something.
