If it *is* useful, it occurs to me that (1) this looks a lot like the try ... except ... pattern, and (2) breaks are generally perceived as exceptional exits from a loop. Instead of "if break [LABEL]", "except [LABEL]" might work, although the semantic difference between labels and exceptions might get a ton of pushback.

In the related thread I suggested using `except`, but it was largely ignored.
*If* you want tou propose clearer syntax for this, please extend the loop
syntax, not the ‘if’ syntax. So, ‘case ... zero’ makes more sense than ‘if [not] break’.

So I understand, does this mean that any extended syntax for this should be *totally* new and not draw on existing constructs such as `try-except` or `if-else`? Or just that the additional clarity should come from extending the loop rather than the implicit `if`?
