We don't have multi-assignment statements in favor of the unpacking
concept, and I think it carries over here. Also, as mentioned, this
goes along with the lack of any multi-for statement. The `x as y` part
of the with statement is basically an assignment with extras, and the
original suggestion then combines multiple assignments on one line.
This option, I think, is more concise and readable.
