Yes, and I would also be interested in an other proposal
that went something like:


while condition1:
  code
and while condition2:
  code
and while condition3:
  code



maybe we should combine them into something like

do:
  code
and while condition1:
  code
and while condition3:
  code

Sure, but since I mostly do this in C, I use a macro
so it doens't look like an if.
