Can someone please tell me why this happens?
Var

For I := 1 to 6 Do
Writeln(I);
End.
This gives me :
initialize.pas(4,5) Error: Illegal counter variable
initialize.pas(6,4) Fatal: There were 1 errors compiling module,
stopping
initialize.pas(0) Fatal: Compilation aborted
"var i : longint = 0;" is internally handled using the same code path as
"const i : longint = 0", and typed constants cannot be used as counter
variables. This is indeed probably a bug.
