"_Until" would probably be a better choice, just because it's consistent
with the way C99 and C11 have added new keywords.
But a language change is not really necessary; if you want to write
"until" loops, you can just do:
#define UNTIL(cond) while (!(cond))
I believe that would work for both while loops and do-while loops.
