I am not sure abput "reference implementation" part.
And also the proposed syntax has very narrow application:

only for range(start, end+1) things.
Any other additions almost certainly will add non-clarity.

OK. Probably 

1, 3 ... 11 

is right way to specify the equivalent of 

range(1, 11+1, 3-1)

(Note the diff)

eg:

>>> for i in 1, 3 ... 11:
...  print i
...

1
3
5
7
9
11
