The "else" is to be executed, after the while (even if the while looped ZERO
times).
But it is to be skipped if the while exited via break (and only then).

For that reason "else" or "otherwise" are badly chosen keywords. Because they
imply a different function.

exactly my and others' points... "and" would be better but then one might just as easily use a goto to jump around that part if break was used to get out of the loop...

anyway, it seems that no matter what the discussion, it won't make it into the compiler... that according to another post from a compiler dev ;)
