actually microsoft had this idea as well. in 1995 when
creating the windows NT command interpreter CMD.EXE.
like
> * FOR N=1 TO 10 DO ECHO %N%*
for /L %%N in (1,1,10) do echo %%N
> * IF %VALUE%==1 ECHO True*
> * IF NOT %VALUE%==1 ECHO False*
> * IF EXIST FILE.TXT ECHO Exists*
> * FOR %%N IN (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10) DO ECHO %%N*
MSDOS command.com, ~1985
>* SET A=%%A + 1*
SET /A A=%%A + 1* (arithmetic to differentiate strings and
calculations)
