Considered and rejected :)  This creates an “implied global”, “len” (a 
ReferenceError in strict mode).  It would have to be, for example

  var count;

  for (var i = 0, len = count = imgs.length; i < len; ++i)

to fix that.

  var count = 0;

  for (var i = 0, len = imgs.length; i < len; ++i)

and counting “count” up would work, too.  If order does not matter,

  var count;

  for (var i = count = imgs.length; i--;)

and counting “count” down is an optimization to consider.

(Even though there is no block scoping with “var”, it is useful to keep the 
declarations of variables that are only used in the loop close to the loop.)
