Bug with #set inside #foreach: setting properties on loop variable from foreach doesn't work

[ElvenMonky]

const velocity = require('velocityjs');

const context = {
  records: [{ ID: '1' }, { ID: '2' }, { ID: '3' }],
};

const template1 = `
#foreach($item in $records)
    #set( $item.key = $item.ID )
#end
$records
`;

// This does not behave as I'd expect.
console.log(velocity.render(template1, context));

const template2 = `
#foreach($x in $records)
    #set( $item = $x )
    #set( $item.key = $item.ID )
#end
$records
`;

// This does not behave as I'd expect.
console.log(velocity.render(template2, context));

In example above template1 doesn't change items on $records and original array gets rendered.

Currently, you have to copy loop variable into another variable, like in template2, to be able to change properties on items.

This is not a duplicate of #100
