+1 I would love "else" semantics to be changed as well, but we can't.

What about:

for x in stuff:
    foo(x)
or:
    bar()

It's a bit weird when you read it the first time, but:

- It conveys pretty well the intent.
- While it still closes to the original "or" semantics, you can't
confuse this syntax with the other syntax for "or".
- I can't think of a use case where the parser can find that ambigious.
- It's short.
