Has any thought been given to adding elif to the for statement?

I don't think it is a good idea because it needlessly, from my point of 
view, embeds too much complexity into a single construct (making it more 
difficult to maintain, for instance). That's what language designer's do 
though--they kick ideas like that around.  If you have a great idea, 
maybe propose a new language.




for x in foo:
if y: break
elif a==b:
something
else:
something else

as a shortcut to:
for x in foo:
if y: break
else:
if a==b:
something
else:
something else
