So does GOTO.

Seriously, though, how is
1)  Do {this} forever, until something happens that I'll tell you about later

better than
2)  Do {this} until this condition, which I'm telling you about RIGHT
NOW, changes
?

Granted, this can all be clarified with good comments - but the second
approach basically documents itself.
