Manuel,
Thanks for the improvement idea, but I must admit I'm -1 on this. Having
first looked at the proposed syntax without your explanation, I found it
hard to be sure what it does, and this goes against the spirit of Python.
The compound statement it purports to replace is just one indent deeper and
much clearer.
