Well, this can be a problem, because indeed the black-statement 
introduce a new loop construct in Python. That's why I advocated some 
time ago against the introduction of a new name. IMHO, the for-loop 
syntax can be really used instead of blocks as its behavior if exactly 
the one of a for-loop if the iterator is an iterator-for-for and the 
current for-loop cannot be used with iterator-for-blocks.

The main problem with this syntax is the use of the blocks for things 
that are not loops (like the synchronize object)! And they are, indeed, 
quite common ! (or they will be :) ).
