This commit updates PEP 810 based on team discussion and feedback: 1. Allow lazy imports inside with blocks - Removed with blocks from syntax restrictions - Added rejected ideas section explaining why restriction was considered 2. __dict__ does not automatically reify lazy imports - Both globals() and __dict__ return raw dictionary without reification - Updated reification section, FAQ, and rejected ideas
