Of course the examples aren't legal C, but that's not the
point.  The question is, if you are worried that

	return (expr);

looks like a function call, why aren't you worried that

	while (expr) stat;

also looks like a function call?  (Remember that 'stat'
can be the null statement.)  Aren't you being just a bit
inconsistent?
