Jupp, it indeed works now. Now the compiler would "just" need to detect 
that the for loop is basically only using constants and evaluate that at 
compile time... but that's a wish for another day ;)

And the open array case of course :P - though I did just take a look at 
it and handling all strange cases of left sides of vecnodes which 
contain an open array argument somewhere might be troublesome -.-
