=head1 NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::ControlStructures::ProhibitCStyleForLoops
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The 3-part C<for> loop that Perl inherits from C is butt-ugly, and only
really necessary if you need irregular counting. The very Perlish
C<..> operator is much more elegant and readable.
for($i=0; $i<=$max; $i++){ #ick!
do_something($i);
}
for(0..$max){ #very nice
do_something($_);
}
