I don't see that at §2.9.4 "The for Loop" ( https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_09_04_03) and I've never seen it in the wild. But ... oh look, it's mentioned in §2.10.2 ( https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_10_02 ). I wonder when that was added, and why? -Martin
