"no such syntax in other languages"....what do you mean ? PHP doesn't have the
right innovate ?
I see plenty of cases I would use this syntax. The "else"s would be triggered
if there hasn't been any iteration in the loop. It means : less variables to
use (so less memory usage), less code lines, etc...
There are only advantages to this syntax (and it's pretty simple to understand,
no KISS violation here). It's not because it isn't done by other languages that
we shouldn't implement it.

Python has an "else" for loops, but it means something completely different.

Why don't you go a little bit further ?
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result ) ){
} else for ( $i = 0; $i < $cpt; $i++ ) {
} else if ( $dude ) {
} else {
}
