// Section: C-Style For Loop Helpers
//   You can use a list comprehension with a C-style for loop to iteratively make a calculation.
//   .
//   The syntax is: `[for (INIT; CONDITION; NEXT) RETVAL]` where:
//   - INIT is zero or more `let()` style assignments that are evaluated exactly one time, before the first loop.
//   - CONDITION is an expression evaluated at the start of each loop.  If true, continues with the loop.
//   - RETVAL is an expression that returns a list item for each loop.
//   - NEXT is one or more `let()` style assignments that is evaluated at the end of each loop.
//   .
//   Since the INIT phase is only run once, and the CONDITION and RETVAL expressions cannot update
//   variables, that means that only the NEXT phase can be used for iterative calculations.
//   Unfortunately, the NEXT phase runs *after* the RETVAL expression, which means that you need
//   to run the loop one extra time to return the final value.  This tends to make the loop code
//   look rather ugly.  The `looping()`, `loop_while()` and `loop_done()` functions
//   can make this somewhat more legible.
//   .
