Hi!

Consider this:

SinOsc osc => dac;

while (true) {
  for (0 => int i; i < 10; i++) {
    i*1000 => osc.freq;
    1::samp => now;
  }
}

Stuff like this can become pretty difficult to try to compute ahead, since
general ChucK code plays on the same timing playfield as the UGens. Also,
consider if the for loop uses the current output value from osc in its
calculation, causing a compute ahead-loop. Also, I think you can put the for
loop in a different file than the oscillator it manipulates (with some added
class magic).
