+/// Many iterators have the property that the first argument is always bound
+/// to a real list element, never NULL.  False positives arise for some
+/// iterators that do not have this property, or in cases when the loop
+/// cursor is reassigned.  The latter should only happen when the matched
+/// code is on the way to a loop exit (break, goto, or return).
