backwards?

    if test:
        # run if true
    else:
        # run if false

    while test:
        # run if true
    else:
        # run if false

    for var in sequence:
        # where "for-in" tests if the next element can
        # be assigned from the sequence
        # run if true
    else:
        # run if false

can it be more consistent?
