'val' should not be legal in basic for loops.

This actually works and is really cool:

for (val x = 5, y = ""; ; ) {
}

Unfortunately, while it's cool that that works, we CANNOT delombok it. Practically speaking having final variables declared inside a basic for loop's line has no real use cases, either.

The easiest solution is to just disallow use of 'val' here. We won't, of course, mess with using 'val' in foreach loops!

NB: We should also test how delombok treats:

val x = 5, y = "";

as a variable declaration. Correct treatment is allowing it and splitting it into two var decls which I'm fairly sure will happen, but, we should add a test.

NB: Someone sent me a message about this (twitter, google+, google groups? I can't remember). Anyway, all credit to him for figuring this one out :)

Would it make sense to enforce that all variables are of the same type? By explicitly checking the types of the expressions or by using the type of the expression if the first variable?
