No. It would not be better than goto. Neither for users nor for static
analysis. AFAIK this has been proposed and rejected multiple times
before (e.g. N1989 at the London 2016 WG14 meeting).

Regarding analysis (and likely also code readability), one important
parameter is the tree-width of the control-flow graph. For C this is
bounded by a constant plus the number of labels for goto used per
function. The situation is similar for many other languages. And at
least for tree-width, it has been proven that unlimited use of labeled
break / labeled continue, like Java has, would be just as bad as
unlimited use of goto.

If you need to get out of an inner loop, just use goto. Avoiding goto by
introducing another variant of goto that just isn't called goto won't
make the standard better.
