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.
