One would not like to be caught redesigning Lua on this list! :)

if i did, then I'd say that it would be nice if "for" received a table after "in", it would look for the "__in" metamethod and call it with the table as the argument. 

It isn't a big deal though, wich is why I won't wish for it publicly
