We can use this for labels:
    |foo| for ... {
        while ... {
            ...;
            next foo if ...;
        }
    }
It'll confuse the heck out of Ruby coders, but I do like this syntax. It
makes labels stand out, as was one of the requirements, and it puts a
little less strain on the colon.
(Now, if we really want to bug Rubyfolk, we could make labels per block
instead of per statement, and put them inside the curlies:
    for ... { |foo|
        while ... {
            ...;
            next foo if ...;
        }
    }
*evil grin*)
Actually if we define |...| at all, I'd prefer it mean abs(), its usual 
mathmatical meaning.
