I dunno; the numbers tells me there is no strong preference by wide
margin either way.

I am not sure if the end shape does not really need an exit
condition.  If there is a need for one, "for (; condition;)" would
look strange.  If there isn't, "for (;;)" is actually my personal
preference over "while (1)".
