Conditional iteration

[at]

Forget 'pythonic'.

I just need to get work done and I see this type of conditional iteration
showing up many times obscuring my code because of the additional
indentation.

In line with previous syntax improvements made in Python my proposal (or
obvious variants) seems a logical next step. Unless of course nobody
appreciates it. That's the discussion I'd like to have here in the forum.

All the best
