reading your mail, I understand that => is an other name for the
<< if then elif elif ... >> structure.
The 30-year books (p.60-61) explains that => leaves a block.
The command break quit the inner loop (for or while)

So I bet for => return [0, [[c,u]].

What is the reponse ?
return l and end the function.
break and finish the loop, go to 1=#lt
iterate : nothink to do with i, treat i+1.

So it seems that iterate = next. The axiom keywork is iterate,
the word << next >> is redundant.
Am I right when I understand that break keyword = leave ?
It's a very fine syntax lesson !
