I would like to understand this better.

Here's why I think they're boring:
- They're Go keywords.
- They're present in many other languages and are well understood.
- I see breaks/continues all the time in loops.

In my opinion, it's much easier to understand and support a loop that makes use of these keywords than it is to invent a new way to break out of a loop.

Can you elaborate on why do you think these keywords are worse than checking for a special error instance?
