The point of do-while loops is that you don't need setup code anymore,
right? How about this:
...
dowhile <condition>:
<loop body>
...
where the body is run once before it becomes a standard while loop. It
looks like we all think of this structure as a "do-while loop", so the
expression is natural. This also makes it easy to change loop types -
just add or remove the "do". Slight downside is that the execution flow
isn't exactly as you read it.
