Jarkko Viinamäki commented on VELOCITY-672:
-------------------------------------------

I'd prefer to keep the amount of directives to minimum. I can't see any real 
benefits of this alias. It just creates a need for additional documentation, 
tests and requires new lines of code in the parser. Foreach is consistent with 
several other scripting languages.

> add '#for' as a synonym for '#foreach'
