This will rebind both a and b. In order to be correct, it MUST happen
in two phases: first calculate the right side, then do the rebind to
the names on the left side.
"rebind to the names" -> "rebind the names found on the left side, to
the objects calculated from the expressions on the righ

I think this is the same question. And I believe it is not atomic,
because it is actually rebinding a name. Consider this:
a,b = b,a
This will rebind both a and b. In order to be correct, it MUST happen in
two phase
