+// Loop bodies are blocks, which are also expressions. We've seen
+// how they can be used to evaluate and return values. To further
+// expand on this concept, it turns out we can also give names to
+// blocks by applying a 'label':
+//
+// my_label: { ... }
+//
+// Once you give a block a label, you can use 'break' to exit
+// from that block.
+//
+// outer_block: { // outer block
+// while (true) { // inner block
+// break :outer_block;
+// }
+// unreachable;
+// }
+//
+// As we've just learned, you can return a value using a break
+// statement. Does that mean you can return a value from any
+// labeled block? Yes it does!
+//
+// const foo = make_five: {
+// const five = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1;
+// break :make_five five;
+// };
+//
+// Labels can also be used with loops. Being able to break out of
+// nested loops at a specific level is one of those things that
+// you won't use every day, but when the time comes, it's
+// incredibly convenient. Being able to return a value from an
+// inner loop is sometimes so handy, it almost feels like cheating
+// (and can help you avoid creating a lot of temporary variables).
+//
+// const bar: u8 = two_loop: while (true) {
+// while (true) {
+// break :two_loop 2;
+// }
+// } else 0;
+//
+// In the above example, the break exits from the outer loop
+// labeled "two_loop" and returns the value 2. The else clause is
+// attached to the outer two_loop and would be evaluated if the
+// loop somehow ended without the break having been called.
+//
+// Finally, you can also use block labels with the 'continue'
+// statement:
+//
+// my_while: while (true) {
+// continue :my_while;
+// }
+//
