Nesting and labels: a little like lifetime annotations

It’s possible to break or continue outer loops when dealing with nested loops.

In these cases, the loops must be annotated with some 'label, and the label must be passed to the break/continue statement.

fn main() {
    'outer: loop {
        println!("Entered the outer loop");

        'inner: loop {
            println!("Entered the inner loop");

            // This would break only the inner loop
            //break;

            // This breaks the outer loop
            break 'outer;
        }

        println!("This point will never be reached");
    }

    println!("Exited the outer loop");
