[swift-evolution] [Review] SE-0099: Restructuring Condition Clauses

[Brandon Knope]

Doesn't this contextually make sense though?

for, when read:
"for each value in collection where some condition is met" do this loop

while, when read:
"while some condition where this constraint is met" do this loop 

It could just be because I know the behavior and am use to it, but I think it makes sense contextually when used.
