Flogging ... dunno, but if you know what the hell you are doing then it is a mighty fine syntax. How would you otherwise continue in a loop when processing remaining iterations is of paramount importance than breaking over an ant in the middle of the road?? Over here, we discourage that practice too, but then again there are some exceptions. And yes I did notice the smiley.
