I like this. It is simple, it solves the problem for the majority of cases
that needed it to be solved (if/elif, but we can figure that out later).
It is also very general in that it allows the set-up to be more than just
an assignment. It is relatively readable.

I think you should resist allowing the multi-conditional version until we
have had a few years of experience with this version.
