Even break and continue by label would be useful without fall-through in

Thanks, Henri. I've posted this information to our bugtracker:
https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/2216
Thanks. So does this mean I should work with the assumption that Rust
will get break/continue by label and I should not develop a code
transformation to work around the current lack thereof?
Yes, if you still need it, then you can assume we will add it, though I
don't know the timeframe. Sadly, there are a lot of things [prioritized]
for the next release and labeled break and continue isn't on there. I
will add it presently.
[prioritized]: https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Note-0.5-priorities
As the first real code step towards translation to Rust, I wrote a
Java to Java transformation for getting rid of fall-through in switch.
The exercise was successful: The result still passes the test suite.
(I did this Java to Java to be able to check the result with the test
suite. I intend to use the Java to Java transformation as a
preprocessing step for the translation to Rust.)
This is great news. Thank you so much for continuing to pursue this
while we dally.
