What does everyone think about:

Might there be some better syntax or a different keyword? I constantly run into
this sort of use case.
It was not my intention to declare those to be similar, just as a
furthering train of thought. I agree that using "as" is a much more
Pythonic syntax. I'm sure there was (and will be) some discussion as to
whether it should operate like "if foo:" or "if foo is not None:". I'll
look a bit further
