[Python-ideas] Inline assignments using "given" clauses

I don't see the advantage in that succinctness:

g = special_gcd(x - x_base, n)

if g:

    return g


The code bases I work on constantly move towards having the next guy grok
what's going on just by reading the code.

It could also be:

if special_gcd(x - x_base, n) as g:

    return g

Cheers!
