Agreed, the for+relational syntax works in list comp.s.  (Again, I was
lumping list comp.s in with for-loops).

I was thinking in a more general sense: I would like to create an iterator
with start, end, and step values and pass it into a function without first
actualizing it as a list (like one would have to do using for+relational in
conjunction with list comp.s).  And use the same construct in for-loops,
list comp.s, etc.  (For those just tuning in: I realize that I can create a
class for this -- actually, I already have.  I'm refering to proposals for
new idioms in Python for iterating intervals of integers.)
