Obviously you were not the only one, since there was a long thread without
clarification.
While I think it is reasonably clear (since I am used to it), I don't think it
is more clear than something like (in faux pyrust)
let iterations = xrange(100);
for i in iterations {
…
if converged {
break;
}
}
if iterations.finished() {
fail!("Oh noes, it did not converge");
}
And I most certainly don't think for-else is more clear than a good macro
implementation of a similar pattern.
What I am worried about is that we add more edge-cases to syntax. The more
syntax we add, the more likely it is that people will just use a subset and
then be really confused when someone uses something special (break out of ifs
in JS anyone?)
