[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0099: Restructuring Condition Clauses

[Xiaodi Wu]

I'm just gotta quote from Advanced Swift:

Note that the where clause [in a for loop] does not work like the where
clause in a while loop. In a while loop, iteration stops once the value is
false, whereas in a for
loop, it functions like filter.
