case:  Don't like it.  We already have means to do what a case does and do it
more elegantly.  It would add a needless redundant portion to the language.

unless: Do a deja search on while 1 on this newsgroup.  It has been hashed to
death.  Short form, while can be manipluated to be any of the special case
loops, until is a special case loops, we should not add things for special
case loops when the generic construct, while, works just fine.
