    There is precedent in Algol 68:

for i from 0 to n while safe(i) do .. od

    which would also make a python proposal that needs no new key words:

for i in range(n) while safe(i): ..

    The benefit of the syntax would be to concentrate the code 
expressing the domain of the loop rather than have it in separate locations.

    Not a big win in my opinion.
