Clearly I have missed some responses.
What exactly is wrong with
- Robert Dewar's suggestion of using 'goto', or
- my suggestion of using a nested named block and named exits?
Both suggestions "implement the behaviour", which is skipping the
rest of the body of the loop.
Is it the fact that you have to invent names,
which you do not in C?
Is it the fact that these translations are _too_ powerful,
handling multi-level exit, which the C version does not?
