Yes, really fine. I've just run the equivalent of

  int c = 0;
  while (c < 1000) {
    c += 2;
  } while (0);

through C and Java compilers (HP/GNU/IBM). What fun!
The code produced is the same irrespective of this nice
C "end while" construct :-)  So the brackets vs. begin/end
discussion is OBE?
