It's _really_ not possible to use "else" without a huge BC break in one form or another, something I'm trying to avoid at all costs. > What about making the brackets for the loop block obligatory for > using this feature? Unfortunately that wouldn't help, we'd have to enforce braces on everything (if/else/elseif/while/for/etc) to make it possible to hang an "else" on the bottom of a loop, again a pretty big BC break. I have actually discussed "braces everywhere" with several internals devs, and the response has been pretty much unanimous: We'd like it, but it will never pass the vote. It would be trivial to provide a migration script though. Feel free to test the water with this idea ;)
