So I asked myself if a syntax as follows would be possible:

Personally, I find this extremely intuitive since this kind of
if-statement is already present in list comprehensions.
What is your opinion on this? Sorry if this has been discussed before --
I didn't find anything in the archives.
I find it interesting.
I thing that this will likely take up too many columns in more
convoluted loops such as
for element in collection if is_pretty_enough(element) and ...:

However, this "problem" is already faced by list comprehensions, so it
is not a strong argument against your idea.
I am still unsure about whether or not the pattern you describe is
frequent enough to justify special syntax. Not to mention that the
current way to do it is already **very** readable. Just notice how
for e in l:
if e != 2:
...
and
for e in l if e != 2:
...
read essentially the same and take about the same number of keystrokes.
