Bug 20255 - Simple Loop Labeling

[Richard Gaskin]

If we're taking votes, respectfully count mine as -1 on using tooltips 
for this.

Labels within code are most useful when visible.  If we need to read the 
code carefully enough to figure out where we should aim the mouse, then 
aim the mouse, then pause waiting for the tooltip to appear, the benefit 
of labels is diminished.

I use comments, as most others here seem to do too.  Quite happy to just 
keep doing that - it only costs two extra characters ("--"), is simple 
and flexible, and immediately self-evident when skimming code.
