Currently, the error message for missing to declare a variable in the for-loop looks like this:

loop3-err.p4(51):syntax error, unexpected IN
        for (i in
               ^^
[--Werror=overlimit] error: 1 errors encountered, aborting compilation

This is confusing. We should have a better error message, ideally in the front end.
