Sorry, "I don't know quite how to represent the extra variable/parameter"
was not intended as a discussion point for the syntax. After the syntax is
parsed, I have to solve the AST representation.
If you don't like the syntax, that's fine. As I said, "[t]his is a total
experiment". The JIRA ticket sat for nearly 3 years without comment and I
thought I had enough stuff in place to pull off a proof-of-concept.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GROOVY-10683
> Project: Groovy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: parser-antlr4
> Reporter: Eric Milles
> Priority: Minor
>
> When iterating over an array or iterable, there is choice between traditional
> counting loop for index access, declaring/managing an external variable to
> leverage for-each loop, or switching to {{eachWithIndex}} which requires
> quite a bit more runtime investment.
> {code:groovy}
> for (int i = 0, n = array.length; i < n; i += 1) {
> def val = array[i]
> }
> int idx = 0; for (val in array) {
> idx += 1;
> }
> // idiomatic and takes care of all the management, but lacks STC support for
> primitive arrays and adds the cost of method invocation for each iteration
> array.eachWithIndex { val, idx ->
> }
> {code}
> Please consider the possibility of {{for}} loop enhancements of
> [Gosu|https://gosu-lang.github.io/docs.html], which provides a direct syntax
> for index or iterator:
> {code}
> for (val in array index idx) {
> println "$idx: $val"
> }
> for (value in iterable iterator iter) { // could be ListIterator for List
> types, which increases options
> iter.remove() // for example
> }
> {code}
