Should except handlers save/restore the prior value of the capture variable instead of deleting it?

Possibly off-topic note from end-user perspective, I wish as x was consistent:

The as keyword is never going to be as consistent as you’re asking, since it’s used in such vastly different ways. Do you expect, for instance, import numpy as np to create a new scope? I certainly wouldn’t.
