I think we could use a for loop macro to remove part of the getImplTransformed dependency, I still need to think about the defer one.
Not a blocker

This when should move into cps().

Noted the for loop macro idea for posterity. @disruptek already highlighted the doc bits, lgtm.
For-loops are inlined using block statements, which messes with their control flow due to nim-works#76. Breaks a test in tzevv due to defer being rewritten into try-finally, which doesn't work. Co-authored-by: Andy Davidoff <github@andy.disruptek.com>

Rebased, compiler issues that I found:
case true
of true:
echo "true"
of false:
echo "failed"transformed to: case true
of true:
echo "true"
of false:
echo "failed"
else:
nilAnd this stuff don't pass sem, obviously.
a & b & ctransformed to And it also doesn't pass sem because a I'd say we should perform this transform ourselves. |

For-loops are inlined using block statements, which messes with their
control flow due to #76.
Breaks "for loop with continue, break" test. On the flip side,
splitting now functions on them.
Also breaks a test in tzevv due to defer being rewritten into
try-finally, which doesn't work due to #80.
