Bug report

Today I made a typo: instead ofin I wroteif.
I was quite interested to see the error message:

>>> [xforxifrange(1)]File"<stdin>",line1    [xforxifrange(1)]^^^^^^^^^^^^^SyntaxError:expected'else'after'if'expression

I don't think that this error message is correct. Why? Because even if we follow the rabbit hole and useelse, we won't be ever correct:

>>> [xfor (xifrange(1)elsey)inrange(1)]File"<stdin>",line1    [xfor (xifrange(1)elsey)inrange(1)]^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^SyntaxError:cannotassigntoconditionalexpression

So, maybe we should change it to be something like:

>>> [xforxifrange(1)]File"<stdin>",line1    [xforxifrange(1)]^^SyntaxError:expected'in',got'if'

Suggestions about wording are welcome :)

If others agree, I would like to work on this.
