Yo folks!  Howzabout

# define break_to	goto
.
.
break_to <label>

Voila! you have your semantic sugar, whilst the rest of us recalcitrant
types can use 'goto' to break multi-level loops, WITHOUT changing the
language.  What is that you say?  You like labelling your loops at the
top?  Sorry!  Ever hear of backward goto's, and how confusing they are?
The natural process of reading (code or otherwise) happens to be forward.
