 The precise requirements for the loop to be eligible for the optimization are as follows:
 
 - The loop condition is a comparison of the form ``i < Y``, for a local counter variable ``i`` and an expression ``Y``.
-- The built-in operator ``<`` is necessarily used in the loop condition. User-defined operators are **not** eligible.
+- The built-in operator ``<`` is necessarily used in the loop condition and is the only operator that triggers the optimization. ``<=`` and the like are intentionally excluded. Additionally, user-defined operators are **not** eligible.
 - The loop expression is a prefix or postfix increment of the counter variable, i.e, ``i++`` or ``++i``.
 - The loop counter is a local declared variable of a built-in integer type.
 - The loop counter is **not** modified by the loop body or by the expression used as the loop condition.
