Yes, this might be a bug, as I observed that you can put any gibberish
in a function and still have it sourced (I put vbscript in a couple of
plugins).
As a trick, how about enclosing :endfor inside an exec?
exec "endfor"
This seems to take the error message away, though I don't know if it
actually works (don't see any reason why it shouldn't).
