with guaranteed termination, of course

Just out of curiosity (not Haskell related): I always get confused when
people speak about "guaranteed termination"; what about the halting problem?
In which context can one check for "guaranteed termination", as the halting
problem says it's not *generally* possible?

Presumably by limiting what you're allowed to do in such a way that it will always terminate... nothing more, nothing less.
