Example from Wikipedia:

upto!(once m:INT):SAME is
    i: INT := self; -- initialise i to the value of self, 
                    -- that is the integer of which this method is called
    loop
      if i>m then 
        quit;  -- leave the loop when i goes beyond m
      end;
      yield i; -- else use i as return value and stay in the loop
      i := i + 1; -- and increment
    end;
  end;
