To do for-loops, SWAMP currently adheres to a misinterpretation of shell
specifications.
Therefore, in the following loops,
a=(1 2 3)
for i in $a; do
echo $i
done
b=`seq 3`
for i in $b; do
echo $i
done
... both produce the same output. In bash/sh, the range is supposed to be
a whitespace-delimited set, instead of an array. In bash, if you provide
an array to the for-loop, it will treat the first element as the entire
range, meaning that the loop will only iterate multiple times if the first
element is itself a whitespace-delimited range.
SWAMP works this way because of the specification was initially
misinterpreted. It needs to be fixed.
