For pedantry's sake, I will note that "NAME ':'" is not a valid sequence
to start a statement with today. That is, however, probably _not_ a road
anyone wants to go down if there is any other option. It's almost enough
to make one wish that Python had defined an expansive set of reserved
words as Javascript does - a set which might not contain "loop" but
would probably contain "do".

What about _just_ "while:" or "for:"?
