+			Repeat the commands between ":for" and ":endfor" for
+			each item in {list}.  {var} is set to the value of the
+			item.
+			When an error is detected from a command inside the
+			loop, execution continues after the "endfor".
+			A copy of {list} is made, so that it cannot change
+			while executing the commands.  Example (an inefficient
+			way to make a list empty): >
+				:for a in mylist
+				   :call remove(mylist, 0)
+				:endfor
+<			Note that the type of each list item should be
+			identical to avoid errors for the type of {var}
+			changing.  Unlet the variable at the end of the loop
+			to allow multiple item types.

+:endfo[r]
+			Like ":for" above, but each item in {listlist} must be
