section properties only available when using $smarty.section-syntax

[eposjk]

When you take the example 7.71 from the documentation and reduce it to

{section name=row loop=$rows}
{$rows[row.index_next]}
{/section}

row.index_next is undefined for current Smarty versions - so you get no output.
If you use $smarty.section.row.index_next instead it works:

{section name=row loop=$rows}
{$rows[$smarty.section.row.index_next]}
{/section}

Its also possible to use the short syntax and add the $smarty.section-syntax as comment - row.index_next is defined in this case:

{section name=row loop=$rows}{*$smarty.section.row.index_next*}
{$rows[row.index_next]}
{/section}

Tested and reproduced with Smarty 3.1.29, Smarty 3.1.31 and current Smarty 3.1.32-dev.
Also tested with Smarty 3.1.21 - that version does not have this problem.

The fix is now in the master branch and will later be included in 3.1.32
