Even when the compiler optimizes it and uses a cpu register for i instead
of a memory location?
The for-loop-variable contains a valid value after the loop if the loop was
left using a break or goto (this does not seem to be documented in FPC's
language reference guide, but AFAIK it is in Delphi; also don't know what
the ISO standard says about this...).
I am not sure that this is intentional.
In fact I seem to remember mails from Jonas to the contrary, but he would need to confirm/deny that.
As far as I know, the for loop variable is supposed to be undefined after the loop.
