ECMAScript 2015: const in for loops

by

The following for-of loop works:

for (const e of a)

The ES6 specification describes this as:

ForDeclaration : LetOrConst ForBinding

http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/index.html#sec-for-in-and-for-of-statements-static-semantics-boundnames

The imperative for loop will not work:

for (const i = 0; i < a.length; i += 1)

This is because the declaration is only evaluated once before the loop body is executed.
