How does this add to the syntax discussion?
I was replying to Nicks quite vague comments

How do you count duplicate? And what is the sense
to speak about 'burden to learn' before the new syntax get
approved? If it will be the new syntax, then
you will need to learn the new syntax only.
You want throw iterables in it, do it:
for e over Sequence :
I see this probably could have some ambiguity problems
but is it such an unsolvable problem?
For integers write e.g. like this:
for i over 0, N :
or
for i over *N :
What is the problem?

Then you are extremely underestimating me.
