I'm sorry for reposting, but this message got stuck in moderation approval for 5 days so I figured I should try again. I'd like to propose extending the for statement to include conditionals akin to comprehensions in order to simplify for loop statements: `for .. in .. if ..:` E.g. for x in y if x in c: some_op(x) which is functionally equivalent as for x in y: if x not in c: continue some_op(x) The `for .. in .. if` syntax is a well-known construct from list comprehension syntax [1]. Other alternative ways to do this with list comprehension is: for x in (a for a in y if c): or it = (a for a in y if c) for x in it: Without having examined all use cases, I believe the same syntax should be applied this syntax as for asynchronous comprehensions.
