This lets programs such as this run: ``` BEGIN { @map[0] = 1; @map[1] = 2; $cnt = 0; for ($kv : @map) { $cnt++; // Previously would have errored...

[UPDATED BASED ON DISCUSSION] This ticket is just to decide on a common syntax for looping. We have number of issues for various new types of loops we want to...

Not every valid BPF program can be expressed in BpfScript, so sometimes it is necessary to drop down to C/libbpf. It would be useful to have a way to call...
