This is interesting, because it's the first time I've ever seen "break"
as a valid command in pascal, and I've been using pascal since the
mid/late 80s. All kinds of dialects too, and I've never seen break as a
keyword. C, Python, Perl, sure, even shell scripts, but pascal? Never
seen it used before.
I've been using break very often in Pascal loops for 25 years since
Delphi 2. Also continue.
My code is littered with:
repeat
do_something;
if x then BREAK;
if y then CONTINUE;
do_something_else;
Application.ProcessMessages;
if key_clicked then EXIT;
until 0<>0;
ProcessMessages allows the user to stop the loop if it is running out of
control.
