Having break act as a control structure has helped me avoid a helluva lot of kludgy constructions (which in C would normally be uncluttered with a goto). E.g. I occasionally have reason to write every i := 1 to 2 do { every j := 1 to 10 do { i+j = 5 & {break next} } } Naturally, there are ways to code this without using the break. It's a nice bit of sugar, though, isn't it? -Richard L. Goerwitz goer%sophist@uchicago.bitnet goer@sophist.uchicago.edu rutgers!oddjob!gide!sophist!goer
