On the flip side, knowing that you cannot break out could make it
easier to read. A general for-loop could do all sorts of odd things,
so you (in general) need to read the entire body to understand what
might happen. For more specialised / sugared types of loop, reading
the header is sufficient to understand that nothing crazy is going to
happen.
