Similar to import statements, optional parentheses could be included in the
grammar, allowing the name bindings to be split across multiple lines:

return g
I'm well behind, but... this! This turns "given" into a +0.8 for me.
That's really nice. It reads clearly too.
And if we're still worried about new keywords or reserved words, this:
if diff and g > 1 with (
diff = x - x_base,
g = gcd(diff, n),
):
return g
or:
if diff and g > 1 with (
x - x_base as diff,
gcd(diff, n) as g
):
return g
or even:
if diff and g > 1 with (
x - x_base,
gcd(diff, n),
) as diff, g:
return g
read nearly as well to my eye.
My main point here is that "with" works as well as "given" in this form from an
English prose point of view.
