+    <li>The number of iterations are known before the loop starts to
execute.</li>

+    <li>The induction variable can be used inside the loop.</li>
+    <li>Loop reductions are supported.</li>
+    <li>Arrays with affine access pattern do <b>not</b> need to be marked
as 'noalias' and are checked at runtime.</li>
