Help: while(a,seq): while a is nonzero evaluate the expression sequence seq.
Otherwise 0.
Doc: while $a$ is non-zero, evaluates the expression sequence \var{seq}. The
test is made \emph{before} evaluating the $seq$, hence in particular if $a$
is initially equal to zero the \var{seq} will not be evaluated at all.
