Exactly how much code would be wrapped in the 'with' block?
This is an intriguing idea, and in the example it's fairly easy to
wrap the entire statement in the with block. It gets a bit more
complicated with short-circuit logic. This is a contrived example to
make it easier to read:
result = (with alpha()) and ((with beta()) if (with gamma()) else
(with delta()))
needs to be interpreted something like:
with _alpha := alpha():
if _alpha:
with _gamma:= gamma():
if _gamma:
with _beta := beta():
result = beta
else:
with _delta := delta():
result = delta
else:
result = _alpha
I don't think there's anything surprising there although precisely
defining the semantics will be a little tricky.
I'd expect it to go more like
with alpha() as _alpha:
if _alpha:
with gamma() as _gamma:
if _gamma:
with beta() as _beta:
result = _beta
else:
with delta() as _delta:
result = _delta
else:
result = _alpha
and even then I might've messed something up here. This seems about as
hard to transform as the halting problem tho, at face value.
