gawk's "for" does not allow simple-statements.

[David Jones]

In a for statement:

for(x;;y)

x and y are both allowed to be simple_statement (in the single unix spec
Version 2, but also in the IEEE P1003.1, Draft 7, Issue 6).

That means the following ought to work (outputting "9\n").

./gawk 'BEGIN{for(print 9;0;);}'

but it doesn't (I get parse error).

Cheers,
