Thanks for reviewing, but just FTR I want to point out that it doesn't
matter whether i is signed or not in

  while (i--)

However, when i is signed, there's another slightly less popular variant
which is equivalent:

  while (--i >= 0)

(a precondition for their equivalence is that i has a non-negative value
before reaching the while statement).

Neither are equivalent to the almost-always broken

  while (--i)
