[Vala] Small syntax request labeled loops



A small syntax enhancement borrowed from Perl that I would like to see in vala is labeled loops, that can be referenced in continue and break statements. Here is an example:


pixels:
while(foo) {
    for (int i=0; i<1000; i++) {
        if (a)
            break pixels;
        if (b)
            continue pixels;
    }
}

See the "last" and "next" statements of perl for a larger example.

Thanks!
Dov
