But that only works in the global scope in the REPL, right? So that is
a pretty limited use, and hopefully there will be a debugger available
soon. And it could be worked around with one additional line:
for i=1:n
ii=i
do_something
end
Another pro-argument: This change would mean that all the scope-blocks
which introduce a binding in their head (function, let, for) make it
local to the block.
