So syntax-wise I personally would go for:

do iterate(lst): (x):
  print x

introducing a new-keyword 'do' (or something similar) and that would imply
inline-suite-like scoping.

And

[KEYW-TO-ESTABLISH-OR-NOTHING] property foo:
 ...

[KEYW-TO-ESTABLISH-OR-NOTHING] interface.interface I(J,K):
 ...

implying 'class'-like scoping and not allowing the thunk maybe to take
arguments or have break/continue/return(/value) in it.
