But users might reasonably expect this:

Good point.
That's an important use case, ...
I don't believe that it is an important use case at all, but it is nevertheless a showstopper. It would be very confusing to overload 'for' in a way that is not consistent with its traditional semantics. We'll have to live with auto or auto&, as appropriate.
