mode is a reserved name at a file root. A let inside a for body is one binding shared by all closures of the loop. My recommendation: keep mode; make let fresh per iteration.

what is mode?

The let half is answered by SPEC.md itself (Capture is BY REFERENCE: "declare a fresh binding per iteration"). A let inside a loop body is fresh per iteration, and the loop variable stays one binding. Being fixed under #106. Only the mode half is still open.

you mean mode 'static'?
