If we want to allow
loop A/B
in place of
scalar C = A/B
loop C
I'd be fine with this, provided it's not too much work for the tokenizer.
If I understand correctly it's already allowed (but not documented). The
thing is that a syntax error can then lead the parser to think it's
intended as a count loop when it was a different kind of loop.
