IMO the proposed illustrations will lead to as much, if not more, WTF
from other language users as current behaviour. Why? Because the
programmer still has to account for the 'switch' in how continue
works. This will just cause a BC problem for older code without adding
anything for people new to PHP.
My suggestion, is to make the break (no pun intended) be clean.
Deprecate use of continue from usage to escape switch completely in
next PHP, then remove that functionality in PHP 8.
Do you mean that this code would be valid in both PHP 7 and PHP 8, but
mean different things?
while($outer) {
while($inner) {
switch($foo) {
case 1:
continue 2;
}
}
}
If so, I think that would be even more confusing.
