For the "|for" case I think the behavior makes sense (it will try to
mark the enclosing block). But maybe indeed it's an accidental change.
For the "f|or" and "fo|r" cases, indeed the smie primitives assume the
cursor is not within a token, so they get all confused. Shouldn't be
too hard to fix.
What should be the behavior when point is at "end|"? Should it mark
this block or the enclosing one?
