[Laszlo-dev] For Review: Change 20080109-dda-l Summary: Script compiler: Backported :* typing from devildog to trunk; added typing in 'for var in' statements.

[P T Withington]

Minor point:  you probably don't need to disallow 'in' in the  
typeexpression, only in the initializer.

Approved either way.
