Ack, in my examples below, I had meant to use replace LOOP with FOREACH.

Well, Andy's inclusion of BEFORE and AFTER save you an IF block before and after your
loop if you need to do setup/teardown stuff
for the loop. And that was really the thing that seemed to be missing from Brett's
original suggestion. I do like Andy's choice of
syntax as well, though I'm wondering if we couldn't just make this new kind of loop an
extension of FOREACH, so that FOREACH could
be used as:
-------------------------
simple case
[% FOREACH item = list %]
foo
[% END %]
-------------------------
complex case
[% LOOP item = list %]
<tr><td>[% item %]</td></tr>
[% BEFORE %]
<table>
[% AFTER %]
</table>
[% EMPTY %]
There are no items in the list.
[% END %]
-------------------------
a medium-case
[% LOOP item = list %]
<p>[% item %]</p>
[% BEFORE %]
Here are your search results:
[% END %]
