I would like to suggest one more motivating example for "Capturing
condition values": multiple regex matches with 'elif'.
if match := re.search(pat1, text):
print("Found one:", match.group(0))
elif match := re.search(pat2, text):
print("Found two:", match.group(0))
elif match := re.search(pat3, text):
print("Found three:", match.group(0))
Without assignment expressions, you have an annoying choice between a
cascade of 'else's with an ever-increasing indent and evaluating all the
matches up front (so doing unnecessary work).
