I'm curious why you say that if and with are "almost" orthogonal
concepts? They seem completely orthogonal to me. You can mix and match
them in literally every combination:
* if alone
* with alone
* if block inside the with block
* with block inside the if block
* with block inside the else block
etc. Why single out one special case?
But generalising this is worse. We don't want Perlish one liners.
# where the process ends
if condition: for x in items: with thingy as cm: if predicate: while cond:
for y in stuff: do_something()
