I first thought that this would break case-statements that use otherwise instead of else, but then I remembered that the case-label-blocks can and IMHO should be terminated by ; anyway.

I know and that's something I'm probably going to be wondering about for all eternity -.- > why not a new keyword? I'm not a fan of adding new keywords for something like this... > while bool do > foo() > afterwards [do] // or even "then" would make sense (from english reading perspective) > bar(); That "then" is a great idea! That would definitely not break anything and it would make sense indeed: === code begin === while bool do foo then bar; repeat foo; until bool then bar; === code end === Regards, Sven
