# =============================================================================
# fac — Starts a scoped do-while style loop
# =============================================================================
#
# What this teaches:
#   • Starts a scoped do-while style loop.
#   • Related keywords: dum, cape, clausura, perge
#
# Common mistakes:
#   • Using `cape` on a non-`fac` block — `cape` only attaches to `fac` statements, not arbitrary blocks.
#
# See also: dum, cape, clausura, perge
# =============================================================================

# fac — try block with cape error handler
#
# fac { <body> }
# cape err { <handler> }
#
# GRAMMAR:
#   facStmt :← 'fac' block 'cape' ident block
#
# EXPECTED OUTPUT:
#   none — success path then simulated failure on attempt 2
#
# BACKEND:
#   Rust/Go: fac/cape not yet emitted — compile-only smoke.
