Actually I wouldn't call it a bug, but more a deficience in the
grammar.  The following drove me nuts:

		for(x=-1; x<=1; x++) { ... }
I wanted to loop from -1 to 1.  However, the above is ambigous, it is an
old style declaration.  I did not find out until I tried my prog on our
UNIX system.  The UNIX cc gives:
	Warning: oldstyle declaration on line xx.

Laser gives no such warning and actually takes whatever the previous
value was and drecrements it by one.  then does the loop.  not what i thought it
would do.

just thought I should let someone know.
