Hmm. And according to Niklaus Wirth, all for-loops must run to completion unless stopped by an exception condition (hence the absence of a "LEAVE," and deprecation-from-day-one of "GOTO," in Pascal). Except that Wirth outgrew such nonsense by the time he invented Modula-2 (which does have a "LEAVE," although I don't remember if it's actually called that).
