Sorry, I thought I'd expressed agreement at some point. I like the "else\s+(if|while|for|loop)" construct very much, and I think the programmers of the world would like it too. I know a some people have issues with "where's the if" but it's no worse than "where's the semicolon" or "where's the filehandle closed". -Miko
