Re: Else clauses for loops

This is the semantics of the else clause of Python for (and while) loops:

bool broken = false;
for (...) {
    if (...) {
        broken = true;
        break;
    }
}
if (!broken) {
 ...
}

I agree with BCS in the bug 2304, I'd like something more semantically 
descriptive instead of just an "else".
It's handy, I use it now and then in Python, but I am able to live without it 
in D.
