In all generality, I don't know. To me personally it has never occurred to
use the loop index outside the loop (well, except in the next loop, again as
the index).
OK, for now I've left things as they are, except that an automatic
loop-index scalar is available as a function return value (for a
"return" statement within the loop). The case where the return value
is a function of such an index should also be handled. That's in
git; snapshots will follow tomorrow.
