The pattern
with foo() as bar:
# do something with bar
is equivalent to
bar = foo()
if bar:
# do something with bar
except for the calls to __enter__ and __exit__, right? What I was wondering
was whether a similar construct was considered for a while loop or even an
if clause, because then the above could be written like this:
if open(filename, 'rb') as f:
while f.read(1000) as buf:
# do something with 'buf'
