You do realize that this is:

  label:
  while(condition) {

    break label;

  }

As a C programmer this confuses me to no end.  When I see "label:" I expect control to end up there and the loop to be executed again.  I realize all the Java folks have gotten used to this, but I don't think I ever will.

If we do both goto and labeled breaks you can get your expected behaviour with:

label:
while(condition) {

    goto label;

}

right? Using break in the un-expected way together with goto gives you both options.

FWIW (And that's probably not much ;) ) my vote would be:

1) 1 (goto and break label)
2) 0
3) 0
4) 0
