There are bugs that sleep in bugzilla for years just because no one has time or
desire to fix them, but they are still valid. I have plenty of similar bugs in
bugzilla. So closing down an issue just for lack of fixes is not a good idea.

And a Python-like "else" clause of while/for/foreach is nice. You can replace
code like:

bool ok = true;
foreach (...) {
    ...
    if (cond) {
        ok = false;
        break;
    }
}
if (!ok) { ... }


With:

foreach (...) {
    ...
    if (cond)
        break;
} else { ... }


Reopened until we have a true decision.
