I don't see how this is any worse than a postfix while()
do {
asd;
asdf;
asdf;
asf;
asdf;
asdf;
sad;
fasdfa;
sdf;
asdf;
asdf;
asf;
asdf;
asd;
as;
a;
sdf;
} while (<STDIN>);

We already have a trailing if statement, so this argument is edgy, at
best. The only thing that it can't do is easily span multiple lines and
expressions. Any reason why not other than style? Seems like the obvious
extension.
Granted, the do {} is misleading. A do {} block is always executed, at
least once. We should drop the do {} if we have a trailing condition:
{
stuff;
otherstuff;
morestuff;
} if $x > y;
I'm not for or against this idea, but just adding some input.
