Ha, I didn't even know the possibility existed. Given its function, I agree that 
the word "else" is a peculiar choice, "then" or "finally" or 
"whenfinishedwithoutbreak" would be a lot better. Especially the long one, so 
people wouldn't be too tempted to use it :). I can't think of an instance where 
I'd have needed this feature.
