Plus, even if you use JS you haven't solved the problem for the people
who don't use JS. (Of which I'm sometimes one.)

If you do give them a loop, they can at least decide whether to
iterate it fully, or to use only the "__last__" value and print it. So
there's that. (Not bad for a four- or five-star scale, though it tends
to break down in my case, where I've got threads that nest out to a
couple hundred levels... there's just no simple solution there.)
