Possible enhancement

Following on from my post about the ability to enclose strings in single
quotes, I came across another php feature which I think would be useful in
LC.
The php break statement has a numeric argument that defines how many
control structures to break out off I sometimes find myself in 3 or 4
nested repeat statements and need to get out of the whole structure if a
particular condition is met in one of the inner structures. With the php
break format, I could:
repeat .....
repeat.....
repeat.....
if <condition> then break 3
end repeat
end repeat
end repeat
or:
repeat.....
switch .....
case...
...
break
case...
...
break
default
...
break 2
end switch
end repeat
The default would be 1 so no existing code would be affected.
Worth an enhancement request?
