Now I'm a little confused. The apoc talked about writing your own
while loop. A while loop looks like:
while($something) { do_this }
and a custom while loop would have to be
mywhile($something) { do_this }
and it doesn't seem much of a stretch for
Class.method($something) { do_this }
or is that what you ment by "ignoring parser issues"?
