Well, it could make some things more readable...but I agree that it 
isn't very necessary.

Yes, I see why having these implemented natively would be better than 
"emulating" them with a #while loop...but I think I have only used one 
do...while loop in C. They aren't often used...but if #for loops are 
implemented, I think either #do...while() or #do...until() loops should 
be. Probably #do...#until, since using #while could confuse the parser.
