Clearly I was not thinking clearly when I wrote that part. RTH noted the
same thing. I will fix it.
However, people are so used to seeing the `do { } while (0)' idiom,
that they might miss
there's a `1' here, not a `0'.
So perhaps it's better to use plain `for (;;)' for infinite loops?
I don't think so. The only valid token that can follow 'do { } while
(1)' is ';', any statement may follow 'for (;;)', so there is a greater
possibility to silently screw things up with the for(;;) form.
