Thank you for revealing true reason of current "for" loop syntax.
"For" loop is as vulnerable to this type of errors as any other part
of Lua code.
Misspelled variable names are easily detectable by something like "strict.lua".
IMHO, "for" loop syntax should not be overburdened with error
detection features.
