Sorry for late reply: yes, it’s sugar, and a first implementation might be
to have the compiler simply rewrite it like a macro, as in your example.
And I realize that my example was more verbose than need be. We don’t call
an iterator on arrays, maps, etc, so my example should have been:
for t := range tokenizer {
// etc
}
I.e., need to call .Range(), since the point of the ‘interface' is to let
the compiler infer how to iterate.
It’s quite a lot less boilerplate, while keeping the intent clear, and
maybe even preventing some classes of user error.
