[Python-ideas] Allow parentheses to be used with "with" block

[Neil Girdhar]

Personally, I would rather wait for a day far away when Python removes the 
LL(1) grammar restriction than introduce weird new syntax.  Maybe when the 
reference standard Python is written in Python and Python has a good parser 
module.  With backtracking, it should be fine and unambiguous.

Best,

Neil
