Re: Why is break not syntactically required to be the last statement in a block (anymore)?

[Lars Müller <appgurulars@...>]

LuaJIT supports "goto" yet doesn't allow break as non-last statement in
a block.

If you use goto, you might as well use goto to exit the loop. Jumping
after a break using a forward goto seems incredibly dirty to me...
