And you can't tell if these loops will terminate, if it's turing complete ...
so one could lock up the render, without knowing it ....

probably one have to include something like a "maxiteration" for loops (if they were
available) .. so to cancel an infinite loop
after, maybe, 10000 times going over a specified "label" .... (just an idea) ...
