Well, example generated C code for "for to" loops are easy to understand.
But messy for human eye!

You must use GB_JIT_DEBUG=1 and run your project from the command-line.

I did not run it from command line, nor did I used the debug on that. I
just got wrongly identified variable types (X was given, expected Y).
I'm quite sure it is not fruitful to report any of that yet. It's very
probably about unimplemented stuff.
