I quickly step in, even if Greg described the technical:
some loops make locals for you implicitely.
so
for indice 1 10 1 [ esterno ]
is the same as
use[indice][
for indice 1 10 1 [ esterno ]
]
so the global is not changed.
and your 'esterno uses the global.
thats handy because i usually use the same varname for loopvars, like 'i, and
have not to declare it as local.
further note: its not consistent, 'forall, 'forskip do not do this.
has convenience-reasons too IMHO. Nested foralls, before block-parser was
there.
