For-loop over out-of-stream variable

- -

This is similar to looping over the current stream record except for -additional degrees of freedom: you can start iterating on sub-hashmaps of an -out-of-stream variable; you can loop over nested keys; you can loop over all -out-of-stream variables. As with for-loops over stream records, the bound -variables are bound to a copy of the sub-hashmap as it was before the loop -started. The sub-hashmap is specified by square-bracketed indices after -in, and additional deeper indices are bound to loop key-variables. The -terminal values are bound to the loop value-variable whenever the keys are not -too shallow. The value-variable may refer to a terminal (string, number) or it -may be map-valued if the map goes deeper. Example indexing is as follows: +
