Well, not really. It rewrites "for" loops into "goto" loops because
that's the only control flow construct implemented by the hardware.

Why? Does the code generator support for loops?
The code cares what the hardware implements, the glue layer does not. The
choice of "goto" loops aka basic blocks as the representation in the backend
is due to ease of analysis, not hardware constraints.
