"for" loops (was Re: C++ vs. Modula2)

I suspect you're going to get an awful lot of flames for saying this.  What
about
	for(i=0; i<=j; i++)
		printf("%d\n",i);
Since a do-while loop has the test condition at the termination of the loop,
it is not possible to produce an equivalent do-while version, for the
behavior will differ if j is less than 0.
