Please reject the PEP. More variations along these lines won't make the language more elegant or easier to learn. They'd just save a few hasty folks some typing while making others who have to read/maintain their code wonder what it means.

The PEP is deferred because it seems that

  while True:
    <code>
    if condition:
      break

is good enough. I agree. We should reject the PEP and summarise
the status. Alternatively, the only way I think we can improve on
the syntax above is something like this:

  do:
    <code>
    if condition:
      break

or without a new keyword:

  while:
    <code>
    if condition:
      break

The empty-predicate variant would let Python check whether there's
actually a break in the body of the loop.
