A workaround that immediately presents itself to me, but seems a
terrible way to accomplish it:

if v:version >= 700
source somefilewithaforloop.vim
endif

Potentially, if you can construct the script in such a way that this
actually works for you, you can put the for loop at the end of the
file, and :finish whenever v:version < 700 before reaching the :for
loop.

Or just use :while as you suggest.
