digitalmars.D - ICE when breaking outer loop from switch statement

A workaround is to put the loop in its own function and do a return
instead of "break X". Or an uglier workaround is to use a boolean flag
checked right after the switch statement.

In my case, I didn't have much to do after the foreach anyway, so the
first workaround suffices. In any case, this is a rather ugly bug.

Other workarounds are to include the code that is supposed to be executed after the loop inside the conditional that was supposed to guard the break and then return instead, or to just use goto.

Yup.
