When adding this, I ran into a puzzling effect:
% while :; do; echo ${|REPLY=x;break}; done
x
% while :; do; () { echo "$@" } ${|REPLY=x;break}; done
%
That is, breaking the loop skips the function call but does not skip
the builtin.
I think something like this has been mentioned before in different
context, but it's not easy to search for.
