The trouble is as someone else noted, "for i in 10" replaces "for i in
range(10)".  But how do you handle range(1,10)?  "for i in 1,10" does
precisely the wrong thing.

How about a way to use slices as iterators, with a little syntax so
you can say "for i in 1...10"?  1...10 would get parsed as a slice
object, that might or might not actually contain the Ellipsis.
