The
loop stuff
until condition
more_stuff
pool
construct is the most general form of loop. It would be useful
if it were the ONLY loop construct in an Algol-like language.
However, C has several loop constructs for reasons of convenience,
and the exit from the middle of a loop is easily accomplished:
for(;;) {
stuff
if(condition) break;
more_stuff
}
so that there is no real need to add such a construct. Save it
for a new programming language (D?).
