I don't believe that enhancements, especially small ones, are inherently excluded from ballot comments.
I don't remember ever seeing such a restriction.
This change is not out of scope of the PAR.
There have in the past been enhancements submitted as ballot comments and implemented.
Examples are in Mantis 324 and 2575.
In this particular case, the change is already supported by a number of tools (including the Cadence simulator) and we have received code that uses it. The change is a small one and easily implemented by those tools that do not already do so.
To be precise, we have code that omits the for-initialization. The same change was proposed for the other two parts of the for-loop control construct for consistency.
And in the words of another committee member, "A more C-like for-loop is a trivial enhancement that fixes a gap that surprises people."

Steven has a good point here. This is a really enhancement. There is nothing wrong with the current specification.

I got myself added to the email reflector too late to receive the original ballot. I have now seen it in the votes of others. I want to comment particularly on 4126:
I vote No on any change to this revision of the LRM for this comment. This comment was not an issue with any change in this revision of the LRM. It is a request for a new feature. It is questionable whether we would have considered adding this feature to the current revision if the request had come in a year ago, since it was not on our list of high-priority extensions. It is certainly too late now to consider adding any new features, during the balloting process. This request should be treated like any other feature request, and considered for the next revision.
