For statement doesn't loop? about es6-shim HOT 4 CLOSED

Ok, I don't think that I'd describe it as a loop as it returns unconditionally, I wasn't suggesting that it was broken more a strange use of for.

Yes, looks to be a think-o dating from f77f9f5. The current spec is https://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/#sec-%arrayiteratorprototype%.next and doesn't have a for loop. (I think the for loop was from some intermediate stage where we were expecting to skip entries in sparse arrays.)

Of course it loops - it just doesn't have an initializer, because var i = this.i is already done higher up in the function.

There certainly may be a better way to express it, but there's nothing broken about it.

Going to close this; but if there's a compelling reason to refactor that code (including "is much clearer to read") then a PR would be welcome!
