This is pretty cool, if we're porting JS features do we get dictionary unpacking/destructuring next?

I just want this so badly, it's the main reason I drift back to JS:

    >>> {a, b=45, c=None, **d} = {'a': 234, xzy: 32456}
    >>> print(a, b, c, d)
    234 45 None {'xyz': 32456}

Another alternative:

  >>> a, b, c, d = (lambda a, b=45, c=None, **d: (a, b, c, d))(**{'a': 234, 'xyz': 32456})

The parentheses for this are admittedly a bit tricky.
