  1. Allow the C# 'break' statement to terminate *several* nested enslosing loops, rather than the closest one only

      Why don't you refactor these loops into a method? Then you can use 'return'.

      public Stuff DoingMyNestedLoop()
      {
      for
      {
      for
      {
      if (true) return stuff;
      }
      }
      }

      usage:
      for (;;)
      {
      DoingMyNestedLoop();
      }

      It will exit all inner loops except for your only outer loop. :)
