While I appreciate being able to use for/else and while/else in 
Python, in D using gotos provides a more flexible (if more 
archaic) solution.

But if we were to borrow else from Python for loops - which isn't 
a terrible idea since gotos are messy and make code harder to 
read - I'd suggest augmenting the construct with another block 
that evaluates only when the loop _wasn't_ broken.

Make a DIP!
