break seen as a C archaism

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Hi Peter, John,
I think I found your arguments convincing, both from a technical point 
of view - the stack analogy was a good one, and from a programming model 
point of view - declaration vs. block of code. I believe these are good 
basis for why we should break away from what we have chosen to do for 
lambdas.
