My question was whether the semantics of break and continue would support
the following:
while(true) {
(function() {
if (--x == 0) break;
})();
}
I honestly don't know, but it shouldn't cause any real trouble to allow it.
The implementation would be analogous to that for labeled return. For
example, if the appropriate while loop is no longer on the stack, the
"break" would turn into an exception.
As my usual disclaimer, I am not closely following the different ES trends
including Harmony. I'm only commenting about what could possibly make the
language more consistent and orthogonal.
