I think that this doesn't apply.  The proposed x < i < z notation
replaces range(), whereas your example doesn't use range (it
explicitly provides its own sequence).

(I still strongly dislike the proposed notation, though....  Maybe
it's a style thing--I'd usually much rather have a clear function call
than clever operator tricks.)
