I personally like the way ADA (and supposidly Modula-3) handle FOR loops.
If you are going to restrict the type of the index variable for easy
compilation why not declare the variable at compilation time?
The type can be determined from the limits of the FOR loop.
And since it is an auto variable, its existance is limited to
scope of the FOR loop.
It should also be possible (but maybe not efficient) to check to see if
the memory location of the index has been changed, thus generating a
run-time error.
