I can see the problem with 'while': if there are multiple 'for' parts, they are equivalent to nested 'for' loops,

x for x in A if x=B is also equivalent to nested compound statements.

so you might assume that a 'while' part would also be equivalent to a nested 'while' loop, whereas it would, in fact, be controlling the preceding 'for' part.
