Eeeeeeehaaaaaa!  A man after my own heart!  You will definitely be
interested in the macro package I've designed for avoiding having to type
those cumbersome C++ keywords.  Here's the flavor:
    #define i   if
    #define f   for
       ...
    #define w   while
Next, I'm going to adapt this package to the "Hungarian" naming convention
so that each keyword has the *type* of data it operates on encoded in its
name!
    pipzyxw(/*condition*/)  { /* stmts */ }
          ^
       remember, "w" means WHILE  !!!
