I can imagine that. Could you describe the general use-case? From what I
know, "else" is executed when you don't "break" the loop. When is this
useful?
Btw., I don't have any issue with else or whatever it is called. It's
just a word but it must fit intuition. And this is why I would rather
see "else" being used there. But this may result because of the lack of
usage of mine.
We can also re-use "except" for it. ;-)
Best,
Sven
