Giving name to a loop

Question

While browsing questions and answers in this forum i found a piece of code were names were given to loops in order to use them for break. Like

nameofloop:

Officially, I believe this is called a "labeled break". It's useful for breaking out of nested loops, such as:

found:
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        for (int j = 0; j < 100; i++)
            if ( /* Some condition is met */)
                break found;

I don't think it's useful for anything else.
