How is breaking something not somewhat inherently disrupting?

   What is wrong with break 2?  Breaks out loop enclosing current loop.
Same with continue 2 -- continues with next item in loop enclosing
current loop.


   Additionally, for greater clarity, why not allow:

loopA:
 for((i=0;++i<7;); then

loopB:
   while read nstring restline;do
      ...
       if [[ $nstring =~ ^[0]+7$ ]]; then break loopA;
   done

# labels would be immediately before a loop to be target
of a break/continue
Maybe mroe clear?
