That seems to change Euphoria syntax drastically. No other keyword has to do
that, why should new ones?

global constant NAME="John Doe"
global enum@ ERR_A, ERR_B, ERR_C

while 1 do    
    switch@ abc do
        case@ 10:
             break@
        case@ else:
             continue@
    end while

entry@

    if a = 10 then
        exit
    else
        continue@
    end if
end while

That looks like quite the mess.
