For loops with parentheses

[phillipdonald]

Expected and Actual Behavior

Expecting syntax of for loops with parentheses to work as they do with if statements and while loops.

class ForParentheses
{
    public function alpha(string $str)
    {
        char $ch;

        for ($ch in $str) {
            echo $ch, "\n";
        }
    }
}

Build output.

vagrant@zephir:~/zephir/utils$ zephir build 
Zephir\Exception: Cannot parse file: /home/vagrant/zephir/utils/utils/forparentheses.zep

I'll take a look ASAP. Thank you for contributing

if and while accept parentheses for a different reason: the syntax is if expression or while expression; expression can be ( expression ). That is, parentheses are a part of expression.
