Yes, I use sometimes this feature in JavaScript (which allows to “break” any
labelled block, not just loops).
That said, it is somewhat less needed, since we have `goto` in PHP. But it
would be nevertheless welcome. (I won’t go as far as deprecating `break 3;`,
although I tend to avoid such code.)

The bad reputation of `goto` is indeed harmful. I heavily use `goto` in PHP
because I like structured programming. :-)

It looks interesting. But we already have goto, which could be used in this
case, too.
while ($i--) {
if ($i % 2) goto foo;
}
foo:
Unfortunately goto does not have a good image ;-)

[PHP-DEV] Steal labelled break and continue from zig?
Hello,
As I was reading https://kristoff.it/blog/zig-multi-sequence-for-loops/ I
found a very nice trick which in PHP would be:
foo: while ($i--) {
if ($ % 2) break foo;
}
What do you think?
