Agreed. I'd argue that the classic `for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)` loop isn't very readable unless you have seen for loops several times, in which case it is pretty easy to read.
I had almost forgotten about this! But, now that you mention it: yes! I remember being completely mystified by that thing when I first saw it. "Which part does what, when now?" Took a long time to read naturally without conscious deconstruction.
