`console` isn't part of the JavaScript language... things like
`document.querySelector` aren't either. They're part of the running
environment. In the case of the prior two examples a Browser.
The BBS runtime environment(s) are different, and will have different
features defined. What would you expect document.querySelector('body')
to do with a telnet user? It's not the same...
That said... for (var i=0; i< 10; i)) { ... } ... ARE part of the
language definition.
