This is an interesting propose, but for a different PEP. In the
current propose VAR1 is not evaluated for truthness, and many of
the usage examples doesn't even require it.
This looks quite strange, for instance:
while dummy from locking(myLock):
# Do something
And also, this would require a break necessarily:
while (foo, bar) from locking():
# Pass

'from' is already a keyword, btw.
