### Break expressions
### `break` expressions

A `break` expression has an optional _label_. If the label is absent, then
executing a `break` expression immediately terminates the innermost loop
enclosing it. It is only permitted in the body of a loop. If the label is
present, then `break 'foo` terminates the loop with label `'foo`, which need not
be the innermost label enclosing the `break` expression, but must enclose it.

### Continue expressions
### `continue` expressions

A `continue` expression has an optional _label_. If the label is absent, then
executing a `continue` expression immediately terminates the current iteration

### While let loops
### `while let` loops

A `while let` loop is semantically identical to a `while` loop but in place of a
condition expression it expects a refutable let statement. If the value of the
expression on the right hand side of the let statement matches the pattern, the
loop body block executes and control returns to the pattern matching statement.
Otherwise, the while expression completes.

Return expressions are denoted with the keyword `return`. Evaluating a `return`
expression moves its argument into the designated output location for the
