43904 (plus tweak): zshmisc(1): document term being optional if `in word' is omitted
In code such as:
> hobbes% () { for arg do print -r $arg; done; } 1 2 3
> 1
> 2
> 3
the implicit positional parameters added when the `in word ...'
list is omitted also implicitly append the separator term, making
the above code valid, albeit seemingly violating the syntax listed
in the documentation.
This is related to the various forms of alternative syntax and is
the intended behavior of the parsing code, so correct the minor
contradiction in the for loop documentation.
