[Python-3000] Stackable Blocks

[Crutcher Dunnavant]

Having been shot down so hard on my request to bring for loops into
symetry with list comprehensions, I have a new proposal - stackable
blocks.

This is a very _small_ amount of syntax sugar, the basic idea is that
any block headers can be stacked on the same line. This changes no
semantics, nor does it change ordering, or add new keywords, it just
changes a tiny bit of the grammar for whitespace/block parsing.

So for instance this:

for file in open_files:
  if file.readable():
    ...

can be spelled like this.

for file in open_files: if file.readable():
  ...

And this:

for i in range(10):
  for j in range(20):
    if i != j:
      ...

can be spelled:

for i in range(10): for j in range(20): if i != j:
  ...

and this:

for line in open(file):
  if line.strip():
    ...

can be this:

for line in open(file): if line.strip():
  ...
