Pretty much the same as in
let i_ = 0, skip2_ = function(){i_++};
for (; i_ < N; i_++) {
let i = i_, skip2 = skip2_;
foo();
if (bar())
skip2();
}
Probably not what the programmer expected, but as others have said,
it's a trade-off. This use case seems rare, rather obfuscated style
IMHO, and you can easily work around it. So probably not something you
want to be optimizing the language semantics for.
