Thankfully, no. IMO, both Java and Ada would be improved by elimination
of this misfeature. Even though C++'s 'break' is simpler, I'd say less
than 10% of the time I see it used to exit loops is justified. That's
not to say that there's NO good use for it, only that it's used FAR
more often than justified.
