you could define a macro forever to be replaced by while
(1). Either way, the compiler should be on the lookout for
perpetual loops, and check that there is a path out of it (some sort of
accessible break; somewhere). Not finding a way out should be a
warning, not an error, as there is GUI code which loops forever.
