It is impossible to write such a *FOR* loop in any language that 
actually implements it properly.

C's 'FOR' loop is misnomer for a weird feature that is like 'while' but 
with three components. A feature where there is virtually no checking so 
that it can comprise any kind of nonsense.

It doesn't have a dedicated feature for iterating a variable over a range.
