I am finding myself often doing for loops over a subset of a list, like:

        for r in results:
            if r.numNodes != numNodes:
                continue
            # do something with r

It would be nice if the plain for loop was as flexible as list
comprehensions and allowed an optional if clause, like this:

        for r in results if r.numNodes == numNodes:
            # do something with r

Has this idea come up before?  Does anyone else like this idea?
