I hadn't actually thought about the temptation to try and have 
multiple 'until' statements inside the suite. Having two suites of the 
statement included in the loop, while the third is excluded, feels 
slightly odd, but other than that PEP 315 is fine by me.

The fact that PEP 315 only needs a single new keyword is a good thing, 
as is the fact that it means the 'else' clause still reads correctly.

As you said earlier: "It is Pythonically minimal and the motivation 
rings true"

Cheers,
Nick.
