Well, I wasn't so much trying to point out an awkwardness as I was asking if 
anyone really *found* it awkward. And of course, my question also raises the 
question of whether or not it's good programming to simply want to do something 
a certain number of times. I suppose that situation may come up, but I wonder 
if it can be implemented in a more significant way than simply doing something 
X number of times.
