But that would break the existing rule that binding clauses
in a comprehension have to precede the expressions that use
the bound variable. If you're allowed to write

   (foo(line) for line in baz(f) with open('foo') as f)

then it's not obvious why you can't write

   (foo(line) if 'bar' in line for line in lines)

Are you suggesting that the latter should be allowed as
well?
