aren't we breaking Java-compatibility here? Just look at ForControl 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se7/html/jls-18.html

oh, maybe a newer version of Java: 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se24/html/jls-14.html#jls-14.14.1

ForInit
   :StatementExpressionList
   |LocalVariableDeclaration
;

was there a specific reason to remove StatementExpressionList, or was it 
never in there and nobody noticed so far?
