Loop controls: break and continue

My experience is no proof, but I didn’t see any real need of goto so far. That is in languages which have proper break and continue. Thus Skila does not have goto, but have rich break and continue. Don’t mind the syntax, I am not sure about it:

label ext_loop
while true do
  repeat
    break ext_loop;
  until false;
  continue;
end;

In this dummy example program immediately jumps out of those two loops, once it hits first break.

Note: you can label only loops.
