It's not a problem. But it's counter-intuitive for something called
"dotimes", and it's inconvenient because not needing to bind the counter
to a variable is a very common use case, not an exception.
But yes, it's just a detail. If what I suggest is not consent, I would
not want endless debates on this topic.
