[Python-ideas] Break multiple loop levels

[Elias Tarhini]

If I may propose `break n` as a replacement for the original message's
`break break ... break`, where n>0 is the number of contiguous loops to
break out of and `break 1` is synonymous with `break`. Seems easier on my
eyes/noggin than counting out the individual `break` statements.
