I agree, but I'll also toss out a few alternates anyway:
instead
inlieu
orelse loop { ... } orelse { ... } reads nicely to me :-)
Of course if we make for, while, and loop raise an exception when they
don't iterate, there's always exception-based non-looping:
{ loop { ... } CATCH when NoIter { ... } } # ;-)
or maybe Larry will figure a way for us to write
loop { ... } when NoIter { ... }
Hmm. Maybe we've got the empty loop code on the wrong end ...
noiter { ... } loop { ... }
or heck, who needs a keyword anyway? Just define for, while, and loop
to take an optional second coderef:
loop { ... } { ... nothing to see here ... }
tongue mostly in cheek,
