Except this puts loop entry statement (do) and loop condition
test (until) on different levels of indentation, which is
I don't quite like.
Compared to the existing loop statements,
-------------------
while Cond:
body
else:
exit
-------------------
for Iter:
body
else:
exit
-------------------
This would seem more logical:
-------------------
do:
body
while Cond:
else:
exit
-------------------
do:
body
until Cond:
else:
exit
-------------------
Although the trailing colon is still a bit unpleasant:
-------------------
do:
body
while Cond:
# no else here
-------------------
Sincerely,
Dmitry Dvoinikov
