This comment is very interesting. His syntax reminds me of Python syntax of:

    for i in [1,2,3]:

Isn't that what the future C++ is trying to achieve? Simplified syntax?

I think your question was rhetorical, in any case the answer is yes. In fact the proposed C++ pythy syntax tries go even further http://pfultz2.github.io/Pythy/ . IIRC its Clang only. Its author hangs out on HN sometimes and would be able to provide more information

Even in that example, wouldn't it be better to simply write

    for i in range(1,4):
