I am not sure if this is valid, but perhaps this is an alternative syntax
which might be simpler:
``name! expr``
So for example, instead of:
stuff = [[(f(x) as y), x/y] for x in range(5)]
stuff = [[y! f(x), x/y] for x in range(5)]
As far as I can tell there would be no conflicts with the current uses of "!".
One potential source of ambiguity would be in:
x = y! a + b # should y be a or (a + b)?
I think this is solved by requiring the target expression to be
non-greedy. If you want a larger named expression, you can always use
parenthesis. i.e. ``x = y! (z + z)``
I feel brevity and minimised punctuation are important for the
adoption of statement-locals, and personally I feel it reads well. I
also happen to prefer the name preceding the expression, though I
suspect this is quite subjective.
Also, apologies if I have grossly misunderstood something.
