Different in what sense?

"for something" loops over all values of the variable that make "something" 
true.  Which part of "something" is the variable is determined by its 
location in the overall expression.

That is true with the current "for x in y" syntax as well as
the suggested "for start <= i < end" syntax.
Well, except that by "all values" substitute "all integer values"
since it doesn't make sense to loop over all floats.
