I doubt it - but we may as well have "plugable" loop (as in perl5)
just in case.

Explain your counter idea some more (I will _read_ rather than skim the RFCs
one of these days...)
It seems to me that decrementing counter is extra inner-loop cost,
and you still have the conditional branch delay when you test counter value,
you might just as well test the "flag".
