  Bad idea. The new language should be more powerful, not less.

  For example, I envision that with the new language you could, for example,
create a function which opens and parses a JPEG2000 file and returns an
image map from it. Or that you could create render-time code with it (like
shaders and such) as well as post-processing code (which could very well
benefit from things like loops and control structures).

  The current user-defined functions are a step towards this goal (after
all, they can be evaluated at render-time, and you can even create loops
with them).
