Maybe "... with any valid assignment expression". Ditto for the two other sentences you added.

Sorry to be jumping back and forth between these two PRs.
I've changed the two notes in the Language Reference, since the linked assignment_expression nodes are well-defined in that context.
I'm resistant to changing the What's New wording, since the phrase "assignment expression" has a different meaning here... the walrus is just about the last thing that I want readers of this document to associate with the grammar change.
Using "expression" keeps with the wording in the PEP, which defines the term well.

Good point. I will merge things tomorrow.
This should be it for PEP 614.
