Of course, it largely depends on what simplifying means to you.

If we lose the "else" in "for"s, we'd have to use a variable to mark when we exit the normal way or we break it out.

Using another variable is something that complicates the reading of the program: you see the new variable, have to discover to what it's for, and to keep it in your mind while you follow the logic.

For me, simplifying means keeping the "else".

Just my Currency("0.02"), ;)
