It's there implicitly. The way `for...` works is by unrolling the
range-based `for` loop. The way it unrolls the loop is *specifically*
defined to create a new variable for each iteration, copied from the
definition in the `for...` statement. The variable is never
overwritten by each iteration; you're getting a new variable each
time; it just happens to have the same name.

This allows each iteration variable to have a different type (by
specifying `auto` or another placeholder), but this *also* allows that
variable to be declared `constexpr`, since you're never modifying it.
