 A macro that takes as its only input parameter an expression of the special
 type `system.ForLoopStmt` can rewrite the entirety of a `for` loop:
 
+.. code-block:: nim
+    :test: "nim c $1"
+
+  import std/macros

+  macro example(loop: ForLoopStmt) =
+    result = newTree(nnkForStmt)    # Create a new For loop.
+    result.add loop[^3]             # This is "item".
+    result.add loop[^2][^1]         # This is "[1, 2, 3]".
+    result.add newCall(bindSym"echo", loop[0])
