What about 'indexing' xor 'in' ? Like that:

for i indexing sequence: # good for e in sequence: # good for i indexing e in sequence: # BAD!

This might help Guido to understand what it does in the 'indexing' case. I admit that the third one may be a bit harder to parse, so why not leave it out?

But then I'm sure this has also been discussed before. Nevertheless I'll mail Barry and volunteer for a PEP on this.
