+/// 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).
