function foo (start)
   for i=start,9 do
      if i>=3 and i<=7 then return foo(i + 1) end  --exclude i= 3,4,5,6,7
      print(i)
   end
end
foo(0)

Hmm, this solution is one line longer than yours. But if your code
example is just a snippet out of an already existing function, it may
have the same amount of lines in total.
