WHY??? What do you need LOOP...etc for when you have "do...while(...);" and 
"while (...) ...." ???? 
And about "break" : HOW do YOU get around "switch" statements ? or do you use
"if... then .... else if .... then ..........."? May be you even #defined that
to be IF, THEN, ELIF, FI like Bourne does? 

Go ahead, do what you feel like! But don't complain when the next time someone
refuses to *even look* at your stuff without cpp-ing it first!
