+    The `loop` operation represents an unstructured infinite loop that executes
+    until a `break` is reached.
+
+    The loop consists of (1) a set of loop-carried values which are initialized by
+    `initValues` and updated by each iteration of the loop, and
+    (2) a region which represents the loop body.
+
+    The loop will execute the body of the loop until a `break` is dynamically executed.
