In Aldor, at the place of X there must be an element of type
"Generator(Something)", not a domain. Well, if you have somewhere a
function
generator: T -> Generator(Something)
(where T is the type of X) around, then Aldor should be able to silently
insert that function for you.
I must say, I am totally happy with just *one* "for" construction. I am
currently not seeing much use in the domain 1..9, i.e. the finite set
{1, ..., 9}.
