NOTE​: I'm not saying this should be implemented in perl5.006, so TomC you
  can sit down... :-)

Two forms​:

  for my(a, b, c) (a1, b1, c1, a2, b2, c2, ...) {
  }

and​:

  for my(a, b, c) (a1, a2, ...) (b1, b2, ...) (c1, c2, ...) {
  }

They are actually unambiguous... :-) As a simplification​:

  for my(a) (a1, a2, ...) {
  }

Is just a simplification of both of the above... :-)

How does the extension go?

  for my(Dog $dog, Cat $cat) (@​list_of_alternating_dog_cats) {
  ...
  }

I don't like that one as much - the most common use I have for this
is

  foreach my ($key,$value) (%hash)
or
  foreach my ($option,$value) (@​_)

Seems reasonable to me. Especially since we might get tremendous
compiler speedups out of
for my int $i (1 .. 1_000_000) { }

How does the extension go?

for my(Dog $dog, Cat $cat) (@​list_of_alternating_dog_cats) {
...
}

for my(Dog $dog, Cat $cat) (@​list_of_dogs) (@​list_of_cats) {
}

I find myself having to do​:
  package Class;
  use fields qw(foo bar);

  sub new { bless [] }
 
  package main;

  my Class $this = Class->new;
  my Class $that = Class->new;

  foreach ($this, $that) {
  my Class $obj = $_;
  # etc...
  }

foreach my Class $obj ($this, $that) { would be much simpler. Alas,
this requires a toke/lex patch, which is waaaay outside of my
skillset. :(
