An empty list yields "Syntax error in control statement" but it's actually a valid statement

%mylist = "A B C"    'this is ok
%mylist = " "       'this should also be valid

for %s {%mylist}
   %t = %s
next

No, it is not valid

Apparently it's valid in any other programming language in the world. In case of Python for example:

for c in "":
print c

For %c “”
Statusline {%c}
Next

for loop syntax error
