[swift-evolution] Proposal: Replace labels with keywords and "*" suffixes

[Austin Zheng]

Indeed, you're right. If the do or if is nested within a loop the break works on the loop instead of the do/if.

And people are generally going to learn about unlabelled break before labelled break. The fact that you can label a do {} and break out of it is interesting, but shouldn't change the expected behavior of unlabelled break.
