I have a suggestion for D (which might make it into C/C++ as

for(initializer; precondition; postcondition; increment)
would allow avoiding a useless comparison before the start of the
first iteration of a "for" loop in those cases where the
programmer knows the loop will always iterate at least once. This
new 4-argument version could exist alongside the old 3-argument
version. An extra semicolon is all it would take to turn a
precondition into a postcondition.
Isn't this what a do-while loop is for, or am I missing something?
