To me, "otherwise" is a synonym for "else", and that makes it too confusingly similar. I foresee forever explaining to people the difference between C<else> and C<otherwise>. I'm not sure if C<otherwise> is popular because it is similar to C<else>, but I think the similarity is a reason *not* to use it. How about C<noloop>? It's absolutely clear what it means and won't be confused with "else". > I now confidently await Larry's coming up with an entirely different solution ;-) I keep picturing Larry tugging thoughtfully on his mustache while reading this thread, a smile on his face, his finger hovering over the "reveal" button. -Miko
