Robert Firth raises the issue of the scope of the control variable.
The BSI and ISO standardisation working groups consider any change
to make the control variable of a FOR statement a local
variable/constant of the FOR statement too radical a change to the
language.

However, the issue previously under discussion concerned whether the
limit expressions are compatible/assignment-compatible with the
control variable.   The issue about the scope of the control variable
is a SEPARATE issue.   (* This compatibility problem doesn't go away
by changing the scope of the control variable *)
