* Less code - smaller compiled code

I wonder if this should also be done on foreach:
foreach($someArray as $key => $value) {
echo "key=$key value=$value\n";
} else {
echo "someArray is empty";
}
$someArray could have been a function call.
Also should this happen with the alternative syntax:
while($i <= 10) :
echo $i++;
else:
echo "The while couldn't be executed!";
endwhile;
