Seconded.  I am repeating some of MON KEY's arguments (more concisely, I
hope) but "till" is harder to parse (being a less common alternative to
"until") and has more meanings in English.

Also many programmers are familiar with "until" as a flow control
keyword so it's a more natural word for them.
