So While... else or While .. Otherwise will never make it in the

Thanks for that.
This is s typical example of one of those things that just don't make
any sense in the first place.
Either the while loop is executed or it isn't, depending in the
expression. I don't see an actual use case for any else/otherwise
extension to it...
The only possible use would be to specify a finalisation statement which
was only executed if the while loop cycled at least once, or possibly
one which was executed if the loop never cycled.
