Well, it so happens that the current implementation does what you wish -- i.e. it guarantees that the loop will work regardless of the changes to s. However, in my opinion that it is an overkill, and careless changing the iterated object during the iteration *should* lead to exceptions, since it is a programmer error. Anyway, this question should be discussed separately from the for-in-index extension, since it affects the behaviour of existing code. -- Alexander S.
