However, against "as" is that its current use in "with" statements does something quite different:
with f() as name: does not bind the result of
f()
toname
, but the result off()._enter_()
. Whether that "should be" fatal, I don't know, but it's at least annoying ;-)
Prior art: COBOL uses "GIVING", as in:
ADD x, y GIVING z
No need to re-invent the wheel ;)
