loop until is also supported. (this is decomposed to loop while not ...)

but do until is not yet supported. This will be in the next release (0.3.0)

Hi.
I think a few things are needed for loops:
1) evaluate the condition first;
2) assess the condition at the end;
3) exit the loop in any place in the loop;
4) repeat the loop from any place in the loop itself.

1) while x = y ... wend;
2) Loop ... Until x = y;
3) Exit Loop;
4) Repeat Loop;

Hello.

Our current conditional options are:
Code: [Select]
do while ...
  exit when/if ...
  continue when/while/if/until ...
loop while/when/if/until ...

They all decompose to:
Code: [Select]
do
  if ...
    exit/continue do
  endif
loop

That surely seems to cover all the bases.

It is a good job. ;D
