GCD and the magic of subtraction

Wouldn't that be `else: break` in every other language?

In most other languages it would be something like

    while true do
        if condition 1 do
            statements 1
        done
        else if condition 2 do
            statements 2
        done
        else do
            break
        done
    done

Oberon, however, is a purely structured language and has no goto-like statements like "break".
