that's interesting...  i implemented exactly the same assignment
semantics for the inferno shell (a kind of extremely simplified es)
but was unaware of the above (consciously, anyway!).

i wasn't sure whether

	(a b) = 1

should be an error, or should assign () to b (i chose the latter).

sadly in that shell, i'm unable to take advantage of your "useful side
effect", as "for" is just a command, not part of the syntax (as are
all control-flow statements).

  cheers,
    rog.
