To me this looks like the perfect example of where this functionality can be abused. Also, I'm not clear what PEP-572 intend to do about "all other places". E.g. should these cases be allowed? (IMO no)

>>> yield x := 3 >>> assert y := 3

Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.

Can we stop trying to nerf this into complexity, please?
