The for-loop and the nested function declaration are both interesting
and I'll let you know which one I choose after further investigation in
the Rust compiler.
If some of you have other ideas, please do not hesitate.
Best regards,
Pierre Talbot

Currently our `for` loops are implemented strangely. In essence, right
now a `for` loop is just syntax sugar that gets expanded during the
parsing stage. This was easy to implement, but it means that our error
messages around `for` loops are strange and it limits our ability to
do more intelligent things, like so:
for i in [1,2,3] { // currently we can't do this, you need to
write out `[1,2,3].iter()`
If you could implement `for` loops in the "proper" way, it would be a
great boon to us. However, I'm not the one who really knows exactly
what the "proper" way is. :) And I wasn't able to find an issue in the
bug tracker for this with any details. Perhaps Daniel Micay (strcat)
could elaborate.

Hello folks,
I'm a French student finishing his study this year and a teacher
gave us a project to finish by the end of the year which is to
modify (or add) a small feature to an existing interpreter (or
compiler, language,...) such as a primitive or a control structure.
I'm pretty new to Rust and I wonder if you have some ideas, some
works that could possibly be useful to Rust, even if extremely
small. My objective is to get into Rust with this homework and
then work further on Rust later.
I can guess how much is hard to understand a compiler and start
working on it, and that's basically why I'm asking you for an
idea. I already worked on open-source projects (mainly in C++) so
I don't have much "outside lessons" to take (such as learning git).
Do you have suggestions that could fit well for this kind of project?
Best regards,
Pierre Talbot.
