• ''for'' is a keyword; do not overload

python

• for reference, a Python loop looks like:

for x in mylist: 
   print(x) 

this is a clever way to hide the mess created by off-by-one indexing

suggested new feature

• the OE/Phix equivalent could look like

each <item> in <sequence> do 
   <... statements> 
end each 

sample usage

• simulate the existing ''for'' loop

each {i} in  {"one","two","three"} do 
   ? i 
end each 

1 
2 
3 

• simulate Python loop

each {i,x} in  {"one","two","three"} do 
   ? x 
end each 

"one" 
"two" 
"three" 

• demonstrate Euphoria thinking

each {i,key,value} in do
