I'm sure this is something that has been discussed time and time again, but I
think D should have a multi-level break. I don't know PHP well, but I found out
it it's one of a few languages (if not the only language) that has this
feature. Example here:
http://phpbuilder.com/manual/control-structures.break.php

break 2; // Multi-Level Break

This is something which could also be applied to the continue keyword:
continue 2; // Breaks the current loop, and continues the outer loop

D allows you to specify labels for loops, and break out of them.
Although it requires you to define a label, the code is more flexible - if  
you happen to add or remove some loops between the break and the loop  
you're breaking out of, you'd have to update all breaks - and I'm sure  
this is a cause of bugs in PHP.
