I happen to like "dou 'dog' = 'cat' because it immediately tells the 
programmer something infinite is happening here.

However, in my experience, an infinite loop usually means a broken 
thought process.  There is a need for infinite loops, but not very 
often, in my opinion.

*ducking*

If you notice, they refer you to FOR.  You might try
for x = 1 to *hival;
but you'd have to define x and then I'd wonder what about internal 
precision, etc.  For example, if x was defined as 1,0, what happens when x

goes over 9?
