One more thing. I heared from a Ruby user that in Ruby 0 means true.
To that user while(1) is pefectly obvious it is a block of code executed 
exactly once. No problems in understanding that for a Ruby user.

But to me 1 isn't true, and isn't false. It is an implementation detail 
that should be hidden from users.

As I said in another thread: programming language constructs should have 
a meaning when translated to a human language.

What would: "if 75 then some people dont like type safety" mean? To me 
and a lot more people it means nothing.
