Yes.  :)  Both.  Or neither.  What I'm suggesting is that you implement the 
*use cases* for the make statement using 'with' and a bit of getframe 
hackery.  Then, your PEP can be clearer as to whether there's actually any 
significant advantage to having a "make" statement.

IOW, if "make" isn't anything more than yet another way to spell class 
decorators, metaclasses, or "with" statements, it's probably not a good 
idea to add it to the language.
