Not really. By "end loop" I assume you are telling the interpreter to finish
looping through the current loop block. If so, what is the difference
between "end loop" and the current "exit" statement?

By the way. currently in Euphoria, the "end while" statement is a place
marker to tell the interpreter where a loop block ends. It is not an action
statement that tells the interpreter to do something. It just marks a spot
in the code, much like a label does in other languages.
