+while
+-----
+
+Evaluate a group of commands while a condition is true
+
+::
+
+ while(condition)
+ COMMAND1(ARGS ...)
+ COMMAND2(ARGS ...)
+ ...
+ endwhile(condition)
+
+All commands between while and the matching endwhile are recorded
+without being invoked. Once the endwhile is evaluated, the recorded
+list of commands is invoked as long as the condition is true. The
+condition is evaluated using the same logic as the if command.
