-1 from me on both counts; the thing I like about while true is that it’s
explicit about what I meant, whereas a repeat block with no while clause is
indistinguishable from me forgetting to include one, or me wanting an infinite
loop.
An alternative could be to add a new “forever” keyword or something similar,
replacing while true wherever applicable, but personally I don’t think it’s
that important.
