Initially I was by the idea to remove brackets from for statement. Now after looking more at examples I realize what the real issue with the look is. Namely it is the word "in" itself. It is simply too short and that makes a lot of space holes in the lines. And letters 'i' and 'n' sort of suck from readability POV. E.g. compare: for x in 1,10,2: and for x over 1,10,2 : So the latter actually would make it look nicer. But that would probably be even less probable to be implemented. Mikhail
