I have done so.  It did not kill me.

Did you really think that Janis was claiming that "the majority of
loops in any given program will have steps other than +1 or -1"?

Why don't you ask them to clarify?

Because I believed that I understood what was written well enough that
asking for clarification would have been noise.  Because I am very
nearly certain that Janis does not believe, and did not claim, that "the
majority of loops in any given program will have steps other than +1 or
-1".  I needed no clarification.

I've answered your question.  Will you answer mine?

Or feel free to drop it and not reply at all.
