When the for is explicitly over a 1-element list, I don't see how
one could be confused.  It's just a matter of desiring an indent:
for gives you the binding & the indent at one go.  If one does
not want the indent, then just assign, as Tim suggested, but a
poster was really keen to have that indent, too.
