It could be that if `break` appears somewhere that an expression is
expected, it becomes an expression with the value 0 or 1 (or False or True)
to indicate the number of breaks that happened in the previous loop, and
similarly some other bit of code involving keywords can become the number
of iterations of the previous loop. This could be represented by `for`,
`len(for)`, `pass`, etc. So one might write:
```
for x in ...:
...
if not pass:
...
elif pass == 1:
...
else:
...
```
