ugh. matter of taste I suppose, but I don't find that lack big deal.

for list1item, list2item, list3item in map(None, list1, list2, list3):
	print 'whee', list1item, list2item, list3item

see above - although some special syntactic sugar would be "nice", I prefer
minimalistic approach over say, C.. of course, Dylan does it (IMNSHO)
cleanest:

for (i from 3 to 19 by 3)
	...
	

Regrettably I can't tolerate Dylan's whitespace approach :P
(I write accidentally too often stuff like i-j, as opposed to i - j)
