This is far preferable to the current PEP suggestion. In particular,
the brackets make it clearer that this is _not_ an "if statement", but
an "if expression".
Mind you, I'd still prefer it not be spelled 'if' - and I'm not sure
that allowing elif isn't going to lead to some shockingly appalling
multi-line horrors.
