[PHP-BUG] Req #76841 [NEW]: simple breaking structure for better code.

From:             leon at valkenb dot org
Operating system: 
PHP version:      Next Minor Version
Package:          PHP Language Specification
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:simple breaking structure for better code.

Description:
------------
I'd like to see something  like this in PHP (and all languages)

procedure{

	// Check simple statement
	if ($a = $b){
		break;
	}

	// Check complex statement
	if ( ($a != $b) && ($c > $b) ) {
		break;
	}

	// All checks succeed. Do something.
	something();
}

I write a good amount of code, and one of the annoyng things is not
being able to simply create a process that can be broken out of without
a loop.
Often i will use a switch / case, but this is not a tidy solution since
there is oten no requirement for a case.

Test script:
---------------
procedure{ // or could be just proc. I couldn't think of a better word

	// Check simple statement
	if ($a = $b){
		break;
	}

	// Check complex statement
	if ( ($a != $b) && ($c > $b) ) {
		break;
	}

	// All checks succeed. Do something.
	print "Hello"
}
