I'm sure someone must have done something obfuscated with a #define
before? 

How about:  ;-)

#define forend(init,cond,inc,block,cont) for(init; cond || (cont,0) ;inc) block

	forend (i=0, i<5, i++, {
		printf("%d\n",i);
	}, printf("Loop terminated\n"))
	
which gives:

	for(i=0; i<5 || ( printf("Loop terminated\n") ,0); i++){
		printf("%d\n",i);
	}
