I imagine this has been covered before, but somehow my Google-foo is
failing. What are people's opinions about having an anaphoric-if syntax
sugar like:
if foo() as x:
... x
meaning
x = foo()
if x:
... x
?
I do this a lot, and it seems very un-Pythonically verbose to repeat "x"
(especially when a longer variable name is appropriate).
Cheers,
Andrey
