I would like to remind all wannabe language designers that grammar

of the proposals discussed so far (whether new syntax or clever use of
existing syntax) satisfy that constraint. Sometimes a for-loop is just
better.
I don't know if you intended these remarks to include my proposal (to
allow "for VAR = EXPR"), as your message was posted only 27 minutes
after mine.
With respect, I honestly feel that this is a relatively small change
that makes the language *more* readable.
Feel free, one and all, to tell me why I'm wrong.
Best wishes,
Rob Cliffe
