Not to bother es-discuss too much, but in case there's interest:

I do hope we can retire 'each' from SpiderMonkey at some point. 
Supporting it in comprehensions has a cost. Your example:

  [x for each(x in obj).y of z]


can't be parsed without error given our current for-each implementation, 
and backtracking and restarting with 'each' not contextually meaningful 
sounds "fun".

I don't expect a lot of SpiderMonkey- (and Rhino-) specific code will 
break, so making this an error when we support ES6 may be the best way. 
Pull the bandage off quickly!
