for f in a b { echo $f; } # invokes shell command echo
for f in a b ( find-file f ) # invokes Lisp command
It's quite cool, actually, though the syntax is not very Bourne-ish.
How to do two Lisp commands? Hm. Oh. Very interesting. Compare:
for f in a b (progn (message f) (sit-for 1))
for f in a b { (message f); sleep 1 }
It changes the behavior of `message'!
