Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] While-else
From: r.korving@xit.nl ("Ron Korving")

It can save you one if-statement, where the condition would be identical to 
the where condition.

Example:

if ($i <= 10)
{
  while ($i <= 10)
  {
    $i++;
  }
}
else
{
  echo "$i is more than 10\n";
}

I personally hate overspecifications, and this is one situation where that's 
the case. So actually, I would like while-else support. Just my humble 2 
futile cents of course.

Regards,

Ron
