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
