Advocates of 'break <label>' and 'break <nesting-level-number>' should
meditate a long time to be sure they are not trying to fool themselves.
These break statements are just a way to disguise a goto statement.
	The only thing wrong with goto statements (I never use them) is
that they make code hard to understand.  There are probably rare cases
when code is made more clear by the use of goto statements.
