Description

(from #8581)

```haxe
class Test {
static function main() {
for (i in 0...5) {
trace(i);
i += 2;
trace(i);
}
}
}
```

Gives:
```
Test.hx:4:,0
Test.hx:6:,2
Test.hx:4:,1
Test.hx:6:,3
Test.hx:4:,2
Test.hx:6:,4
Test.hx:4:,3
Test.hx:6:,5
Test.hx:4:,4
Test.hx:6:,6
```

Research direction

Start with the Test.hx reproduction in the issue and run the linked try.haxe example to confirm the behavior. The issue does not state the intended semantics for modifying an IntIterator loop variable, so first establish the expected result and identify the relevant compiler entry point. Done requires an agreed behavior and a regression test covering it.
