You have to handle step size != 1 in the loop.

I'm +0 on the whole idea of repurposing/creating syntax for range(). On the
one hand, I think the syntactic sugar can be kind of handy, and runtime
optimization of loop constructs is likely to be a bit better. OTOH, I doubt
the presence of a call to range() vs. a fixed chunk of syntax is a big
impediment to the PyPy folks and others interested in optimizing Python
performance.
