but now, we have actually reduced expressiveness and added complexity  
for users who want to construct loops with a fixed number of  
iterations. If we would let the LoopUnit have its current iteration  
count as a Parameter, different kinds of loops could be constructed  
without compromising expressiveness, performance nor user effort  
(Gregor has shown that this can already be done, but is slower and  
needs a user-generated model to store the current iteration count).
