It can save you one if-statement, where the condition would be identical to
the where condition.
Example:
if ($i <= 10)
{
while ($i <= 10)
{
$i++;
}
}
else
{
echo "$i is more than 10\n";
}
I personally hate overspecifications, and this is one situation where that's
the case. So actually, I would like while-else support. Just my humble 2
futile cents of course.
