Because new syntax and new language features means more work. Somebody
has to write the code, make sure that it doesn't break existing Python
code, test it for bugs, change the document

I've yet to see anybody arguing for while loops to be nested like
that, but we already allow nested

It occurred to me as I was writing a for loop that I would like to
write it in generator comprehension syntax, eg.
for a in b if c:
rather than using one of the more verbose but allowable syntaxes:
for a in (x for x in b if c):
for a in b:
if not c: continue
Python 3.1 does not suppo
