Sorry, I misread you. I deleted my comment but I'll restate the recommendation of GEB.

@zvrba That's been on my reading list for some time - probably time to dive in.

You can allow any loops where an upper limit for the number of iterations is calculated before the loop starts. And other loops, like anything where some state has a complete ordering, the loop ends when the state is "small" enough, and each iteration of the loop leads to an earlier state in the ordering; this lets you write a program for the Big Ackermann function which is guaranteed to halt. (in theory).
