I am afraid the comment is not exactly clear. 'Blocks' in the
implementation has two purposes: scope control and break control.
A given block is never working for both purposes. (The break control
creates a "block" around the loop; those blocks do not define a new
scope. That is wat the comment was trying [and failing] to say.)
