To me, a for loop starts with a "for" and ends with a ":". I wouldn't 
mind the ability of more "for"s or "if"s in between. I would skip over 
them anyway while reading. Technically, I agree with you as it matches 
my intuition:

for blaa foo blah blaaaa blubber babble:
     break    # go outside
     continue # go to next item
else:
     # no break

Cheers,
