I asked for this early...long before it was too late. (Existing valid
programs ma have variables named 'do' so it is a non starter in that form.
Rob's objection was wise and thoughtful. He wanted Go to be friendly to
program transformation and he felt that a single uniform iteration
construct would be "more better" for that than the workarounds you have
been shown would be "more bad" stylistically.
I did not get what I asked for, but I did get an education about careful
trade offs.
