See my post a month ago (29 September) in the archive with links
to some related discussions. Subject "while: for the loop".
(I don't have access to the archive now so I can't link to the post)

One proposal was exactly about the "loop" keyword:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2014-June/028202.html

I was proposing "while" to replace "while True".
My opinion is that adding a new keyword just to replace

"while True:" would be too much, also it can cause
problems with syntax highlighting, some code analysis and

replacements if a variable "loop" is used. Since it was not

a keyword, the probability that someone had used such variable

can be significant.

A `loop:` statement to replace `while True:` has probably been discussed at length more than once.

Does anyone keep links to the discussions?

TIA!
