Hmmm...interesting,
thanks,

From a very narrow perspective, it doesn't seem very common.  ;-)

Re: Chet

Yeah saw that... I think my brain blocked that instance out
because it's the sorta the exact opposite of what can be left
out in perl where you can leave off the var, but not the list,
i.e.

  for ( @ARRAY_NAME ) {
    ...
  }
so for looping over params using the default index var:
  for (@_) {...}

If only perl and/or bash both had default index & params, then
we could encounter a simple:
 for {...}

and have it all implicit... ;-)
