Apparently, Swift also does not have goto. For all languages that 
do have it, why use while at all if you have goto and if at your 
disposal? It's so much more general and powerful and simpler 
anyways :^)

Though I suppose for Swift just using recursion may do as an 
alternative to while. No need to introduce a new keyword/new 
syntax for something you can already easily do using a simple 
combination of other features, right?
