I’d like to keep the structure of a `for` loop because I have something like this:

```julia
function func(R)
    b = zero(paramvec)
    for i in 1:R
        sdata = datasimulator() # returns a vector of data
        b += estimatemodel(sdata) # returns a vector of parameters
    end
    avgb = b ./ R # averages parameters across simulations
    return likelihood(avgb)
end

```

Can that be done?
