I don't feel like arguing yet again why DO is fundamentally inadequate
and causes you to write unmodular, unreadable code when you use it for
advanced parallel/serial binding and flexibly-sequenced initial, end-test,
and exit clauses, but maybe someone who is more energetic should undertake
this. I believe it is worth the cost of the keyword syntax.
