exception on generic for loop

[mezzodrinker]

> table1 = {1,2,3}; for k,v in table1 do print("hi"); end
Exception: attempt to call a table value
Stack traceback:
        stdin:0: in main chunk

> for k,v in _G do print(k, "->", v); end

That is because you specified table1 and _G as the iterator function.

for exprList in iterator [[, table], start] do block end

So that should be

for i in inext, table1 do print("hi"); end

for k,v in next, _G do print(k, "->", v); end

inext is the list iterator, next is the mapping iterator.
