`shift $#' inside for loop without `in word...' part alters the loop's copy of positional parameters

[Oğuz]

To reproduce, put this into a file (say `foo'),

    for x; do
      shift $#
      echo $x
    done

and run

    $ sh ./foo x y z
    x
    y
    ./foo

The last line should be `z', obviously, but it's not.
