% \section{Program control structure}
%
% This section defines a number of control structure macros, such as
% while-loops and for-loops.

% \@whilenum TEST \do {BODY}
% \@whiledim TEST \do {BODY}  : These implement the loop
%           while  TEST  do  BODY  od
%     where  TEST  is a TeX \ifnum or \ifdim test, respectively.
%     They are optimized for the normal case of TEST initially false.
%
% \@whilesw SWITCH \fi {BODY} : Implements the loop
%               while SWITCH do BODY od
%     Optimized for normal case of SWITCH initially false.
%
% \@for NAME := LIST \do {BODY} : Assumes that LIST expands to A1,A2,
%      ... ,An .
%      Executes  BODY  n  times, with  NAME = Ai  on the i-th iteration.
%      Optimized for the normal case of n = 1.  Works for n=0.
%
% \@tfor NAME := LIST \do {BODY}
%      if, before expansion, LIST = T1 ... Tn  where each Ti is a
%      token or {...}, then executes  BODY  n  times, with  NAME = Ti
%      on the i-th iteration.  Works for n=0.
%
%  NOTES: 1. These macros use no \@temp sequences.
%         2. These macros do not work if the body contains anything that
%         looks syntactically to TeX like an improperly balanced \if
%         \else \fi.
