Resist bikeshedding early and all that, but there's already a strike against
this or anything like it:
JS lacks run-together keywords apart from typeof and instanceof, which do not
abbreviate as "vals" does.
In grasping for ":" instead of "in", the committee was trying to keep the
introductory keyword "for". I think we had agreement that sticking with "for"
is still worth using as a syntax design guide or "back up and try another route
forward [than 'in']" design point.
