No. There's no reason to do this. If you want an integer variable, declare
it as such beforehand.

How good it's if we can have Bash internal variable as default for loop counter,

f(){
 unset i
 for a;{
  let ++i
  # ...
 }
 #...

}

so have that instead of $i for sake of efficieny or optimization,
could be named any, $/, $! etc
