^^^^^^^^^
Perhaps that is the reason of confusion, IMHO. 'while' should be
considered as statement, not as expression! Dave is right here, to be
orthogonal 'while' should also return a value as every expression do!
I also do not like the idea of a special 'void' value for just that
case! But if 'while' would be considered as statement, it would not be
necessary to allow it to return a value! Perhaps simply change the
documentation and say 'statement' where there was 'expression' before?

What about to introduce both? :-)))) If you cannot decide ... take
