Also 2 or 3.
The 3rd one is in the order of natural language, just like:
while get then next item and assign it to `item`, if it's not None, do
some stuff.
However just as we have pointed out, the semantics of '->' is quite
different from the cases it's currently used at, so it should be handled
much more carefully.
I think maybe we can use unicode characters like ≜ (\triangleq) and add the
support of unicode completion to python repl. The unicode completion of
editors or ides has been quite mature.
