  In this case, the tuple generator_ab must be generated first. Sometime
  it maybe a waste to generate all possible combinations of i,j first.

  I have googled and found the PEP-3136(Labeled break and continue),
  which has been rejected. I have also read why Guido rejected this PEP(
  http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-3000/2007-July/008663.html),
  but I still think labeled break and continue is a good feature in my
  case.
