It's not clear what the meaning of `range' is. Usually in other
languages it can mean something like [i .. i_nth] a generator.

So I was translating the seed7 for loop as:

for [number=1 to the length of the array] do
   <some_code>
end for;

I assume that number is incremented internally. Something like the
`foreach' construct in some languages.
