What I'm rejecting is the proposal for:

statement except Expression: pass

Based on the current proposal, that won't work. It makes reasonable
sense, but we can't do everything. As Rob says, that may be better
done separately; it's really an alternative short-hand for the
statement form, not an expression form.

This will work, but is not recommended:

expression except Expression: None

That's not part of the rejected section.
