In #569 we debated for a long time which constructs to have between loop, continuing,for, while.

I do not wish to reopen the question of loop/continuing. What I'd like to discuss before V1 is the possibility of adding while(e) { s } as syntactic sugar for for(;e;) { s }. This would not replace or remove loop/continuing in any way.

It has the obvious benefits of making the language more familiar and convenient to write for new programmers, while being trivial to implement (being mere sugar for trivial for loops). And I believe it would match our recent attempts to make the language more convenient with things like #2243, #2492.
