there must be white space between most command names and the argument.

For loop ~

Legacy Vim script has some tricks to make a for loop over a list handle

deleting items at the current or previous item. In Vim9 script it just uses

the index, if items are deleted then items in the list will be skipped.

let l = [1, 2, 3, 4]

for i in l

echo i
