Python allows for breaking out from a loop through 'break' and 'continue' keywords. It would be nice if it was possible to break many loop levels using one command.

I propose two constructions for that:

break
break break
break break break
...

continue
break continue
break break continue
...

And so on.

Example:

for i in range(10):
    for j in range(10):
        if i == 2 and j == 3:
            break break

for i in range(10):
    for j in range(10):
        if i == 2 and j == 3:
            break continue
        if i == 7:
            break break

Breaking out from many loops at once is a common practice, currently implemented through boolean testing and exceptions. This proposal would make it cleaner.
