SPAD has no specification, as far as I know. Current behaviour in SPAD is
*roughly* as with "for free uf in ..." in aldor. However, there is a
difference between iteration in lists and in segments:
for i in 1..10 repeat
dosomething
i
will return 11, not 10.
All of this loop business is highly inconsistent in FriCAS and Axiom, eg:
interpreted: loop variables are local
"=>" does not leave loop
compiled (even in interpreter): loop variables are free
"=>" leaves loop if there is only one statement
