Subject: Possible parsing bug with alternate for-loop syntax
Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2016 17:48:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAHYJk3QbvQmFLb9SBXg9+swTO7WMyEcd8NjW37Qve8G-G5JAWw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

17:44:25 <Mikachu> > for a (1) {echo hi}
17:44:26 <machabot> Mikachu: hi
17:44:29 <Mikachu> > for a (1) {a=hi}; echo $a
17:44:38 <machabot> Mikachu: Timeout (no output).
17:44:36 <Mikachu> > for a (1) {a=hi} }; echo $a
17:44:39 <machabot> Mikachu: hi}
17:45:17 <Mikachu> > for a (1) {builtin local a=hi}; echo $a
17:45:18 <machabot> Mikachu: hi
17:45:22 <Mikachu> > for a (1) {local a=hi}; echo $a
17:45:30 <machabot> Mikachu: Timeout (no output).
17:45:26 <Mikachu> nice
17:45:37 <Mikachu> you get the bug for reserved word local but not for
builtin local

The documentation does state the syntax is { list } with the space
included, but this still seemed somewhat surprising to me.
