[Openmcl-devel] declare in a loop

[slepstein at mindspring.com]

It seems to me that the ability to declare the type of local variables within a loop might result in faster compiled code. For example, if one iterated through a list of objects as in
(for i in whatever…)
it would be nice to know what the type of i is.

Is there syntax for this or a good reason not to have it?

Thanks in advance.
