There once was a suggestion like this on c.l.py, expanding this to other
statements, like:
if re.match('a.*b', text) as m:
# do something
What has become of this? It seems to be a wanted feature, and while I concur
that classic 'C-style' assignment-as-expression is undesirable (because of
the =/== bug-source), this would be a way, wouldn't it?
