How about, instead of trying to emphasize how different a
block-statement is from a for-loop, we emphasize their similarity?
A regular old loop over a sequence or iterable is written as:
for VAR in EXPR:
BLOCK
A variation on this with somewhat different semantics swaps the keywords:
in EXPR for VAR:
BLOCK
If you don't need the variable, you can leave the "for VAR" part out:
in EXPR:
BLOCK
Too cute? :-)
