Probably the complete lack of a condition to test in for(;;). I confess that
I was shocked when I found out that it was legal to have a for loop without
a condition. That seems like doing while() or if(), which makes no sense.
So, I never use for(;;) and wish that it didn't exist, but it does, and some
folks use it. So, I have to live with the possiblity of dealing with it when
dealing with code written by other people. But I won't ever use it.
