spec: the introduction to 'For statements with range clause' fails to mention range-over-func

[gazerro]

The introduction of the paragraph on For statements with range clause fails to mention the range over function:

A "for" statement with a "range" clause iterates through all entries of an array, slice, string or map, values received on a channel, or integer values from zero to an upper limit [Go 1.22]. [...]

and also

The expression on the right in the "range" clause is called the range expression, its core type must be an array, pointer to an array, slice, string, map, channel permitting receive operations, or an integer.

Note also that the statement

If the range expression is a channel or integer, at most one iteration variable is permitted, otherwise there may be up to two.

is not accurate, as func(func() bool) does not allow iteration variables, and func(func(V) bool) allows at most one iteration variable.

Thanks for this. Update forthcoming.
