Why would one question an opinion? ;-)

I've no strong opinion on that, but I find the "for NAME (;;)" to
clearer express the _local scope_ of embedded breaks or continues.
(Just a matter of taste, and my appreciation for locality.)

If that sort of jump would be _restricted_ to the respective loop
then I'd not see how I'd miss that since it's closely placed. (It
might also help if, as shown above, some all-caps convention would
be applied to labels.)

Well, there were both variants, the Algol 60 "integer procedure"
and the Algol 68 "(...) INT :" (or Pascal's syntax equivalent with
a 'function' keyword, similarly, but with another syntax, in Awk).
But there's more syntactic factors that influence where the name is
located, so many variants are existing. (But we're anyway talking
just about "C", so it's all void, whatever personal preferences.)

The point with the separation of two lines is a question distinct
from the choice, unless we'd choose a syntactic variant of the two
forms, specifically "fname (parms) res_t" (i.e. without keyword).

As far as I recall, in "C", the name of the function was often put
separately (first in the line) to have an easy method to find its
declaration by simple "grep ^fname". (With any sophisticated editor
this might be a weak argument, though.)
