   I've noticed that something like 

	   spam() { for i; do echo $i; done }

   expands into

	   spam () { for i in $*
	   do
	   echo $i
	   done }

   (direct shell output).  Personally, I would expect "$@" instead of $*
   in the for statement.  What is the "official statement" on this?

You are right.  The shell should expand the null argument to "$@".
