No, they are not the same. If your command is a macro, the macro expansion
may be such that only part of the command is in the loop in the first case.
(This has bitten me before).
Not saying that the above isn't a problem in Lattice, but any bugs I've had
with the above were in my code (with a macro expanding with part of the
command out of the loop).
