Hey Ross, look around you in the house!  Ah, there it is! 
You’d only have to unpack the box with the for;; it’s still there :o)
I bet, the components in the compiler to process a for;; are still present in the 3.0 compiler
and could be simply reactivated?

Will do. thanks.

Anyway:
I’ll drop the subject for now, also
because my highly exceptional request will  probably not be honored.
Then so be it.
