Thanks Matt. I proposed a statement that is similar to 'exit <name>'. I
propose that we have a 'next <name>' statement. This would go to the *next*
iteration of the named loop block.

 Main:for j = 1 to 5 do
   sum = 0
   for i = 1 to 10
     if sequence(x[j][i]) then
        next Main
     end if
     if remainder(x[j][i],3) = 0 then
       next
     end if
     sum += x[j][i]
     printf(1, "%d is divisible by 3!\n", i)
   end for
   printf(1, "The sum is %d\n", sum)
 end for
