Questions about the FOR statement in Oberon(-2):

Is the value of the counter variable undefined upon exiting the loop -
as it is in Pascal and Modula-2?

Also, I've found that in both Oberon/F and Oberon V4 for Windows, I could 
change the counter variable within the FOR loop. I thought this was illegal
in Modula-2 - and that Oberon(-2)'s FOR loop was the same as Modula-2's.

Is it legal (as per the language definition) to change the counter within
the loop?
