how about:

    while:A x = 1 do
      while y = 2 do
        while z = 3 do

            ...

           exit:A

        end while
      end while
    end while

That way it won't break existing code, and you get a choice of only naming
the loops that you realy need to.

you can then either use:
       while / exit
 or
       while:label / exit:label

I think that seems like quite a tidy way to fix that problem.
