After rethinking over some code I've written in the past, yes, I agree
this change could be a nice one.
The simple fact that people are commenting that they could chage the
code to be an inner
function in order to break from nested "for" loops should be a hint
this syntax is useful. (I myself have done that with exceptions in some cases).
