[Python-ideas] loop: statement

[Mikhail V]

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.
