phf: but then you potential run into sentinel issue
ben_vulpes: looks like ad hoc implementation of common use cases with arbitrary language features to me, but i've also spent a bit of time with the loop macro lately
phf: otherwise you need to do foo=NULL; for(...) {...}; if(!foo) { ... }
phf: or rather an escape out of loop means that nothing was found and the alternative should be taken
phf: i think typical refactoring done elsewhere is to put the whole for loop into a small function, replace break with return and then assume that any escape out of loop is an error
phf: like for example, for stuff in things: if right(stuff): break; else: error("can't get the right stuff")
