Is that an endless loop or not?

Some compilers may recognize it as assertion which says "this code shall
not be reached".

At this point someone will suggest a macro this:

All that suggest sto me is that the language *needs* an explicit endless
loop!

Nope!

#define ev
#define e
#define r

  for(ev;e;r) ...
