Er, what?!? Who said we're dropping "until"? Did I miss something?

Hrm. Do you also propose an "elsloop" too? I think a general "else"
or "otherwise" on all loops allows what you want:
loop $i = 0; $i < $max; $i++ {
...
} else {
for @x { ... }
}
And is just as clear. Or if the new "for", "if", "while", etc.
constructs can be somehow generate a code reference, maybe we can write
it this way:
loop $i = 0; $i < $max; $i++ {
...
} else for @x { ... }
loop $i = 0; $i < $max; $i++ {
...
} else while ($x < 5) { ... }
