I'm not sure I'm following here.

But say it's implemented so the syntax is:

while 1 do label top
    for i = 1 to 10 do label mid
        ? i
    end for
end while

Where top and mid have a scope similar to "for" variables -- that is, to the end
of their respective "end" statements and couldn't be used otherwise as variables.
But they wouldn't be objects or anything. Hmm.

Maybe that's a reason to make them string or sequence constants instead?

Still kinda confused.
