any chance we could see something like pythons else statement on
iterative loops in D (Might be useful on regular for loops too but not as

It seems everyone has ignored this post, but this isn't a proposal coming from a clueless
alien. Such "else" has a little but true purpose, it helps avoid gotos in some
situations, and this in turn may help the optimizer, because I think gotos aren't much
well digested by modern C/D compilers.
Actually Walter loves goto, so DMD copes really well with it.
