It’s pretty easy to create a macro to give you almost exactly the syntax you’re looking for. For example: [Some useful macros for Julia · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/MikeInnes/8299575) (see `@once_then`) or: [Introducing Julia/Metaprogramming - Wikibooks, open books for an open world](https://en.m.wikibooks.org/wiki/Introducing_Julia/Metaprogramming) (see `@until`, which is a different structure but illustrates the basic idea).
