  A good point.  We'll add them to the registered version.  At this point
we're leaning toward having a few built-in arrays of fixed size to use.

We've really been trying to stay away from this since it opens up a whole
can of worms: hey, now that you put in for-next, how about an else clause?
And what about functions?  and...  
  As I've said before, we're trying to keep RIPPLE as simple as possible.
However, since so many people are requesting for-next, we might just be
inclined to add it.
