I suggest you file those as products of an overactive imagination. :-)

Have you even tried to define precise semantics for any of those, like the expansion of "with E as V: B" in PEP 343?

Hi,

while "as" is being made a keyword, I remembered parallels between "with" and a proposal made some time ago: with expr as f: do something with f while expr as f: do something with f if expr as f: do something with f elif expr as f: do something else with f What do you think? Georg
