[Python-Dev] PEP202

Skip Montanaro <skip@mojam.com> suggested:

It's too procedural, and too Forth-like.

I think it's actually an advantage that the iterator clauses don't
look *exactly* like their procedural counterparts, because it's less
likely to fool you into thinking that you can put arbitrary statements
there.
