That was one reason, yes. Marco and I wanted to be able to use C99-style
declarations in for loops to make it easier/possible to build macros with
locally-scoped control variables.

I personally prefer using C99-style declarations in for loops, but I don't have
a strong feeling that we *must* do so.
