[Pitch] Retiring `where` from for-in loops

Evolution Pitches

+1 to the proposal.
All arguments and counter-arguments are simple and understandable.
I think, we should just schedule a review, and Core team will make final
decision.

Also, we should think about removing `where` from `while` loops.
We can copy `if` syntax to `while` conditions.

SE-0099 applies to all constructs which use condition clauses, including `while`. The "Detailed Design" section even specifically mentions the `while` grammar rule. <https://github.com/apple/swift-evolution/blob/master/proposals/0099-conditionclauses.md#detailed-design&gt;

Ah, I see. Then for-each will be the only usage of `where`, aside from
generics. I'm even more in favour of the proposal being discussed, then.

Not the only, actually, but close. There's still `case ... where` and
`catch ... where`; this proposal offers some suggestions on that.
