NOTE 1 : Iterations can be nested without limitation.
NOTE 2 : If a double-ESC termination is encountered and the
corresponding > is missing, an error is reported, and
the command sequence aborted. Note, that the body of the
iteration up to that point will have been executed once
(unless, of course, the iteration-count was zero).
NOTE 2 : The only controlled exits from an iteration are:
1) the iteration-count being reached
2) via the ; -command.
