   VAR
     Funny : RECORD 
               CASE J : BOOLEAN OF
                 TRUE : I : CARDINAL;
                 FALSE : (* empty *)
               END
             END;

   BEGIN
     Funny.J := TRUE;
     FOR Funny.I := 1 TO 4 DO
        Funny.J := FALSE;
        (* now what *)
     END

FOR loop variables are supposed to be as simple as possible to stop them getting
messed up in any one of the dozens of perverted ways one might think of doing   
so.

It would be interesting to see a really good example of a FOR loop where one
wanted something other than a simple variable.
