The most common place I wish for an atomic "test and assign" is with
regexes, as in your examples. This would be so much nicer than what we
have to do now:
if re.match(string) as m:
print m.group(0)
The analogy to
except SomeError as ex:
is very clear. They are both "Perform some action, capture the result,
do some test on it, and then make that captured value available bound to
a name".
