strange for .. end syntax or bug?

[Francesco Potorti`]

In 3.0.1 I get a case where 'end' and 'endfor' behave differently:

octave> for i=1:2 for j=3:4 disp([i j]) end end
parse error:

  syntax error

>>> for i=1:2 for j=3:4 disp([i j]) end end
                                        ^

octave> for i=1:2 for j=3:4 disp([i j]) endfor endfor
   1   3
   1   4
   2   3
   2   4

Is this normal?
