Wonderful, break never works the same way as continue, or else they'd
be called the same thing.

It is possible to do terribly unstructured things with GOTO, BREAK,
RETURN, and CONTINUE, but one should not attempt to enforce structured
programming at the language level because it won't work.  You can
write structured code in any language, and real programmers can code
Fortran programs in any language as well.
