Summary: Addition to break and continue
Initial Comment:
It would be great if one could use "break for", "break
while", "continue for" or "continue while".
A silly example:
for i in range(100):
counter = 0
while 1+1 == 2:
counter += 1
if counter > 5:
break for
"break for" should here jump out of the for-loop, as
opposed to just "break" that would jump out of just the
while loop. Using "break for" and friends will make
code a lot more readable and explicit, and avoid using
exception throwing and catching, and other acrobatics.
I believe this suggestion is in sync with the Python
Design guidelines.
