Reminds me... Is everybody aware of D's for syntax?

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
     for ( {
             int i = 42;
             double d = 1.5;
             string s = "hello";
         } i < 100; i *= 2) {

         writefln("In the loop with %s %s %s", i, d, s);
     }
}

:)

Also note the absence of ; before the loop condition.
