What about an if with the match inside it?
if m := re.match(...): ...
That's one of the motivating examples behind the walrus after all.
I love that, but it mostly makes sense for "if there's a match do this, otherwise do that" where most cases fall into "I'm absolutely sure there's a match here and here's what we should do with that match", and when that "absolutely sure" fails, the proper way to deal with that is by raising an exception.
Oh, you mean like AttributeError? ChrisA
