Breaking labeled scopes

break is used to exit the current scope, for example a for loop:

for i in 1...10 {
	guard i < 9 else { break }
	// Code here.
}

But what if we have nested loops, and we want to break a specific one? Swift has us covered, with labels:

outer: for i in 1...10 {
	inner: for j in 1...10 {
		guard i < 9 else { break outer }
		guard j < 8 else { break inner }
		// Code here.
	}
}

But today I found something interesting: you can label if blocks, as well:

// Works with non optional binding ifs as well.
abCheck: if let a = b() {
	guard a.condition else { break abCheck }
	// Code here.
}

This won't be that useful, or used that often, but it's going to be a relief for cases like:

if let a = b() {
	// Do something here. -> This doesn't let us combine the two ifs into one statement.
	
	if let c = a.d() {
		// Do something else here.
	}
}

// Do more stuff here. -> This doesn't let us use a guard above.

->

abCheck: if let a = b() {
	// Do something here.
	
	guard let c = a.d() else { break abCheck }
	
	// Do something else here. -> We gained an indentation level.
}

// Do more stuff here.
