How 'bout something simple that works _now_?

#define loop for(;;)
#define exitif(a) if (a) break

main()
{
  char ch;
  loop {
    ch = getchar();
    exitif (ch==EOF);
    putc(ch);
  }
}

This seems much less prone to a missing semi-colon causing a really nasty
error. IMHO, this is much easier to follow than do{}while(){};.
