"news" in for-loop variable name gives TypeError

[johannesmik]

Following situation:

test.tpl

{% for i in news %}
{{ i.title }}
{% endfor %}

test.js

require("jinjs").registerExtension(".tpl");
var main_template = require("./test");
var context = { news : [{title: "test one"}, {title: "test two"}]};
console.log(main_template.render(context));

Then, node test.js gives me the following error:

var _fref = new $$.s || [], _prev_loop = $$.loop, _prev_key = $$['i'], _prev_value = null, k = null, v = null, i = 0, l = 0, x = null, last_v = null, last_k = null;
            ^

TypeError: $$.s is not a constructor

Changing to foo and the error goes away

If I replace news with foo or bnews, then the error doesn't occur anymore.

However, the error still occurs for words like newsarticles.
