   None of the above, bud.

   I find this readable

	   for x in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ; do
		   echo "I can count to" $x
	   done

   followed by, in second place:

	   x=1
	   while [ ! "$x" = "11" ] ; do
		   echo "I can count to" $x
		   : $(( x += 1 ))
	   done

   ...and third place:

	   ...
	   movl	$1, %edx
   loop:	pushl	%edx
	   movl	$message, %eax
	   pushl	%eax
	   call	_printf
	   inc	%edx
	   cmpl	$10, %edx
	   jae	loop
	   ...
   message	.ascii	"I can count to %d\n\0"

Ummm... oh forget it.  It isn't worth going there.
