here is an example
where the order of assignment actually matters:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'd' is not defined
>>> d = d['a'] = {}
>>> d
{'a': {...}}
As you can see, they're assigned left-to-right.

Ah! I was thinking the assignments went in a filter fashion, but now
what I think is happening is that the first item is bound to the last,
then the next item is bound to the last, etc, etc.
Is this correct?
