Agreed; I see no reason to call it break (that makes it even more confusing), and limiting jumps to one direction only is dumb; there is no technical reason to do that. Perl has a "goto" keyword, but it's pronounced "magic goto". We can have a "goto" keyword and pronounce it "limited goto". Bad feelings and anticipated misuse are not good enough reasons to make this feature obscure. So, I'm +1 on the patch with sane names and removed restrictions; Thanks Sara and Dmitry :) If goto's not right, and break is confusing - what about breakto or something else that won't cause the confusion of break but also won't cause a load of wah's from people expecting goto to behave in a different way ?
