I'm afraid to disappoint you by saying that I liked v1 better; all it was
lacking was a comment. Such a comment is still lacking here. Without that,
someone may come and convert this back to the more normal (in this
situation) "for" loop.

Nit: The brace goes on the same line as the "do", just like ...

... it's on the same line as the "while" here.
