for-loop optimization

That seems like a bug to me. for (a;b;c) d; should always expand to something like

| a; | while (b) | { | d; | c; | }

in my opinion.

I just wrote a for-loop like this:

string foo="gazonk";

for(int i=0;i<sizeof(foo);i++) {

... do stuff ...

if (sometimes) foo = foo[1..];

... do stuff ...

}

The problem I discoverd was that when the length of foo is changed, the loop still tries to loop over the original length of foo. The problem dissappeard when I replace sizeof(foo) with a variable and update it when changing the length of foo.

Is this the correct behaviour or is the optimizer doing more than it should here?
