I really like this addition. 👍 It's a great way to decrease code verbosity without getting in the way of anything else. Much better without the blocks too, since with blocks you might as well use functions or `switch`. I see you mentioned pattern matching, but I think this can be done quite well in userland. Have you thought about including ranges, greater/less than, or some form of `in_array()` matching? As for making the `(true)` optional, even though many are in favour of it. to me that seems like something that would happen when/if the `while (true)` becomes optional. There's a million examples of the latter on github, and I think it would be odd to make this optional while (no pun intended) the `while` one would not be. Thanks, Peter
