The only argument against dynamic scoping there is that one might use `break 1000' for exiting the outermost lexically enclosing loop and I don't think anyone does that, you'd just count loops and specify the exact number. Had it not been too late, I'd suggest `break 0' have that effect (and `break -1' continue the outermost loop in progress, and so on). > > There was a discussion on the austin-group mailing list back in 2016 > accompanying this defect report.
