Other attempts at implementing control flow

I wrote this horrible hack of for implementation in luar just for fun:

provide-module control-flow %¼
	require-module luar
	define-command for -params 4.. %{
		lua %arg{@} %{
    		local elm_name = table.remove(arg, 1)
    		table.remove(arg,1) -- drop 'in'
    		local body = table.remove(arg, #arg)
    		for _,elm in ipairs(arg) do
    			local b = string.gsub(body, "%%val{" .. elm_name .. "}",elm)
				kak.evaluate_commands(b)
    		end
		}
	}

	define-command test-control-flow %{
        for buffer in %val{buflist} %{
        	echo -debug %val{buffer}
        }
	}
