I’m behind the idea in principle, but I’m not so sure we need a new keyword for
this:
for eachIndex in (1 ..< 10).by(2) { … }
The above would be adequate I thin, and just requires a new method on ranges
and similar types. This is being discussed, among other things, in the c-style
for loop discussion, as these were recently removed but without a replacement
for this type of use-case.
