ahhhh... my bad... sorry 'bout that... i've been thinking about this, too... 'else' and 'otherwise' mean the same thing... what they seem to be looking for is 'aswell'...foo := 0; while foo < 100 do begin inc(foo); end; aswell begin dec(foo); end;either 'aswell' or 'aswellas'... while foo is less than 100 increment foo as well as decrement foo when it is no longer less than 100...
I am not native English, but aswell to me implies "do both" and gives no order. So I would expect this (the aswell block) to be executed for each iteration too. like the perl continue block http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/continue.html
btw, while I am not for it, the continue block appears much more useful than the "on-none-break" block. Though the continue block is not really ever needed, usually you can write the loop with the counter decrement at the top.
But the existence of such a continue block shows the fundamental issue on which a decision is needed. should (if a volunteer for a patch exists) every little "save one statement in your code helper" be added? Because there are thousands of them, and if you add them all the readability of code will go down, because you need to first learn them all.
