If the proposal was accepted for "for k:v in iterable" then I suppose that "if
k:v in iterable" would also be valid, meaning that for a dict, there is a
pair (k, v) such that _dict[k] = v, and for a list that there is an index k
such that _list[k] = v.

for k:v in iterable:
    assert k:v in iterable
