Inconsistency in for-loop descrption/grammar

In [url]http://spinroot.com/spin/Man/for.html[/url] the second grammar line states that one should use the colon in the for statement for arrays:
   for '(' varref ':' array ')' '{' sequence '}'  .

However, the example given a little later shows that one should use the 'in' keyword.

      int a[10];
    for (i in a) {
        printf("i = %d\n", i)
    }


This problem is also in the grammar in [url]http://spinroot.com/spin/Man/grammar.html[/url] .

As an aside, the examples would be slightly more self-explanatory if they would show that one needs to declare the loop control variable.

Kees.

Re: Inconsistency in for-loop descrption/grammar

As far as i understand things:

The second line in the grammar

range    : varref ':' expr '..' expr
            | varref ':' varref                                 // this line may be deleted now
            | varref IN varref

may now be deleted.
