Named loops for breaking

Hey,

I did a little searching and couldn't really find much recent on this.
The only thing I found was this:

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/a696624c92b91181/5b7479fdc3362b83?lnk=gst&q=break+named+loop#5b7479fdc3362b83

Basically I'm wondering if there are any plans to implemented named
loops in Python, so I can tell a break command to break out of a
specific loop in the case of nested loops. Currently I'm using boolean
flag variables, but I find that very clumsy. I know this idea of
breaking out of specific loops from javascript; I guess java does it
too. It just seems a very Pythonian idea to me: clear, promotes code
legibility, seems obvious.
