After all this endless discussion about "for" syntax one simple question:
Why not simply write
local function f() return 1, 5 end
local a,b = f()
for i = a,b do print(i) end
although I have to admit, that then you have to distinguish between two
or three parameters for the for-loop "manually".

cannot be written in more general form ?

for i = f() do print(i) end
