in reply to do {$i++} until vs. $i++ until

It's consistent and orthogonal with the same construct in C. Think of it more of a syntactic construct along the lines of while( EXPR ) BLOCK continue BLOCK rather than an EXPR until EXPR where the first EXPR is a do BLOCK.

    Note that I did not criticize the first-execute-then-check do{} until but the first-check-then-execute of $i++ until. THAT is the code that feels wrong. That is the construct that puzzles me. Anyone know a language where this is handled the same?

    But I could live with the "wrong" construction if both cases were at least consistent with each other.
