Yes but that can give bad results. For example:

if (a > b)
    for (...)
else
    ...

With your version of 'for' the 'else' branch will never execute since it 
will be
the 'else' for the 'if (1)'. With the previous version of 'for' that 
problem is not there
because there is already an 'else' branch given in the 'for' define.
