The other, posted by Steven Bethard, is that it fundamentally breaks the
current semantics of abbreviating (except for iteration variable
scoping) an 'equivalent' for loop.
The proposed syntax would suggest that this should be legal as well:
for i in iterable while cond:
blahblah
or perhaps:
while cond for i in iterable:
blahblah
A while-for or for-while loop would be a novel invention, not seen in
any other language that I know of. I seriously doubt its usefulness
though...
