Will you accept an 'exit'?

Loop statements can have names (LRM 5.5).
But so can blocks (LRM 5.6).

The general C form

   for (init; cond; updt) stmt

can be converted to

   begin
      init;
   Loop_All:
      while cond loop
   Loop_Body:
         begin
            stmt
         end;
         updt;
      end loop
   end;

'break'      => exit Loop_All;
'continue'   => exit Loop_Body;

Obvious simplifications apply to particular cases.
