But I believe we can handle this in generic RTL; in fact, you and I discussed
it at length :-)

Right. I really don't have a strong opinion about whether or not generic
RTL needs to keep looping constructs intact. I really haven't thought much
about it.

This is one of the major problems with our compiler :(
