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

At least not only mine. ;)

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

Easily.

if expr as name: BLOCK

would be equivalent to

name = expr if name: BLOCK del name

Same for while.
