## Variables by reference
Lastly, this proposal adds support for defining and passing variables by
reference. This is really important now that variables can be types other than a
string. Previously, to send a variable from one task to another, you would have

Previously, to send a variable from one task to another, you would have to use

All references use the same templating syntax as regular templates, so in
addition to simply calling `.FOO`, you can also pass subkeys (`.FOO.BAR`) or
indexes (`index .FOO 0`) and use functions (`len .FOO`):

## Looping over maps
## Common to both proposals
This experiment also adds support for looping over maps using the `for` keyword,
just like arrays. In addition to the `{{.ITEM}}` variable being populated when
looping over a map, we also make an additional `{{.KEY}}` variable available
that holds the string value of the map key.
Both proposals add support for all other variable types by directly defining
them in the Taskfile. For example:
<Tabs defaultValue="1" queryString="proposal"
values={[
{label: 'Proposal 1', value: '1'},
{label: 'Proposal 2', value: '2'}
]}>

There are many more templating functions which can be used with the new types of
variables. For a full list, see the [slim-sprig][slim-sprig] documentation.
## Looping over variables
Previously, you would have to use a delimiter separated string to loop over an
arbitrary list of items in a variable and split them by using the `split` subkey
to specify the delimiter:
```yaml
version: 3
tasks:
foo:
vars:
LIST: 'foo,bar,baz'
MAP: {a: 1, b: 2, c: 3}
cmds:
- for:
var: LIST
split: ','
cmd: echo {{.ITEM}}
var: MAP
cmd: 'echo "{{.KEY}}: {{.ITEM}}"'
```
Both of these proposals add support for looping over "collection-type" variables
using the `for` keyword, so now you are able to loop over a map/array variable
directly:
