I personally think the way Sun is currently planning to implement these features are more readable than your alternatives.

There's no accounting for taste, of course, which is why I didn't write this up as a simple contest pitting my pet syntax against Sun's. I was more interested in starting a discussion about whether or not Sun's current syntax was really ideal.
Knowing how often collection iteration actually occurs I believe extending the C tradition to use a single extra character, ':', is a very good thing -- as those editing without auto-completion can still be productive. With 'eachof' you end up typing a lot unless you have an editor punching this out for you -- which isn't really any different from an editor punching out today's collection iteration.
