This has being thought, asked, and even agreed as  nice thing before, however, it is blocked due
to ambiguity on the syntax for some corner cases - and, I may be wrong n that, it would not be possible
to do with the current parser (and Python is not shifting to a more complex parser for this feature alone).

So, anyway, the official recommendation for long `with` statements is to use the `\` line continuation character:
```
with \
    open(fname1) as f1,\
    open(fname2) as f2,\
    open(fname3) as f3,\
    open(fname4) as f4\
:
```

Hello everybody,

today I tried to open four files simultaneously by writing

with (
    open(fname1) as f1,
    open(fname2) as f2,
    open(fname3) as f3,
    open(fname4) as f4
):
    ...

However, this results in a SyntaxError which is caused by the extra brackets. Is there a reason that brackets are not allowed in this place?
