Personally, I kind of like:

switch(1){ default: // BREAK BLOCK START

    blah blah blah...

    // Want to get out of here...
    break;

} // BREAK BLOCK END

It's a little more cumbersome than the while construct, but it is absolutely
guaranteed to only go through once, whilst the "while" version you HAVE to
rememeber to put in the closing "break", otherwise you risk an infinite
loop.
