Maybe we can make use of that?

That doesn't work, because the (...) look like function
calls. But what if we used a different set of bracketing
characters:
if (x - x_base) {diff} and gcd(diff, n) {g} > 1:
I think that's unambiguous, because you can't currently
put {...} straight after an expression.
To make it look even more like a neologism definition,
we could require the bound names to be all-uppercase. :-)

return G
