Let me raise my paws higher then! While i haven't wanted to recently, having 
control of the loop var can be useful. Ferinstance, if you wanted to start over 
on a condition, or you have a huge list to process in the loop and want to 
skip one item conditionally on a *previous* state, or collection of states. Yes,
it can be done other ways, but like a "goto", things can sometimes be done 
easier a different way.
