Eh, I thought that was supposed to be considered an implementation detail?

Anyways, maybe I was a bit hasty with "abolishing" the numeric-for.
Clearly there's more to consider than syntax; I just very much like
the idea of keeping iteration under the same roof, so to speak.
Besides, if __iter works out, anyone can make "for i in 10, 1, -1 do"
work just by setting the number-type's metatable.
