If we wanted to allow that to be expressed literally, we could
probably special case the "while not break" keyword sequence as a do
loop:
while not break:
         # Setup
         if condition: break
         # Loop continuation
We would then also need 'while not return:'
And for completeness, "while not throw:"

All these situations could be handled by making a "while:" with no
condition act as "while True:"

But they could also be handled by updating pep8 to make "while True:" the
recommended infinite loop syntax and make linters smarter about this (if
they aren't already).
