Where in nature does "i > 0" occur?
You may prefer it, but it is nothing more than a preference. Spare
us the bogus claims about what is "natural" C syntax.
Personally, I'd be just as happy with a plain "i" for the second "for"
expression. I know what it means; any competent C programmer knows
what it means; someone learning C either knows what it means or needs
to learn; no one else should be reading the code.
