2: It took me a while to see, but this is a type annotiation.
Interestingly, it seems to be parsed as a form of assignment with
a missing RHS.
>>> from ast import parse, dump
>>> dump(parse("if0: print('yes!')"))
"Module(body=[AnnAssign(target=Name(id='if0', ctx=Store()),
annotation=Call(func=Name(id='print', ctx=Load()),
