Interestingly, it seems to be parsed as a form of assignment with
a missing RHS.

 >>> from ast import parse, dump
 >>> dump(parse("if0: print('yes!')"))
"Module(body=[AnnAssign(target=Name(id='if0', ctx=Store()), 
annotation=Call(func=Name(id='print', ctx=Load()), 
args=[Constant(value='yes!', kind=None)], keywords=[]), value=None, 
simple=1)], type_ignores=[])"

"An annotated assignment without the assignment? Eeuurgh!"
