True enough; however just because something is easy (or *CAN* be done)
doesn't make it the right thing.
The C/C++ allowance of assignments within the conditional-test is a
good example of something that *CAN* be done that shouldn't be.
The syntax of the proposed (for ... ) construct simply look _wrong_ to
me, like a human-knee bending backward. {I think the same about the
new conditional expressions too, they simply go against the grain of
the rest of the language IMO.}
