That was the original context of my comment.  The term "symmetry" gets
used a couple times in that PEP, and I think we're in violent
agreement that the concept of "symmetry" is wishy-washy at best.

Here is just one example from the PEP:

      The symmetry between "if x in y" and "for x in y"
      suggests that it should iterate over keys.

Maybe "analogy" or "similarity" would be a better word here.
