I think if this could be made to work for list displays and function
arguments, it wouldn't be too hard to settle the semantics for a dict.
My personal shed colour would be: omit the key and the value won't be
evaluated; omit either to suppress the result. But there are other
valid semantics, and it'd just be a matter of picking something sane.
The biggest problem with this proposal is the way that, being a
syntactic construct, it's going to be non-composable.
# Oops, syntax error
with (some_expr as q,
some_other_expr as w):
pass
