Just to be extremely clear (since I've failed at that, apparenty), I 
missed the desugaring Grant showed for too long. I agree it's worth 
exploring, which means exploring alternative syntax ideas to "for ".

So, kudos to Grant (and Axel, who IINM proposed "for " earlier and 
intended the exception-free desugared semantics).
