The 'while' as a statement is seen prior to the 'while'
which goes with the 'do'.  A simple parser/compiler has
no way to determine which is which without braces for
a compound statement.  I.e., it can't determine what
is or isn't a statement, just what are keywords and
other language elements.  Analysis of the AST or a
grammar-based parser or some other solution would be
required to eliminate the 'while' as a statement as being
the 'while' paired with 'do'.  I.e., C is too complicated
for simple parsing and code generation from the language.
