What about using 'for .. vin' - i.e. value-in for value enumeration

And adding a redundant 'for .. kin' - i.e. key-in for key enumeration
(for those who prefer explicitness over using the ambiguously named
'for .. in' which would retain its original key iteration behavior)?

Or are 'vin' and 'kin' too nonsensical to gain any acceptance?
