The above would desugar to:
label1: arr.ForEach { |o|
  if (...) break label1;
}

If it had continue instead of break, it would desugar to:
arr.ForEach { |o|
  label2: {
    if (...) break label2;
  }
}

It wouldn't need to be described as a desugaring in a strawman, given
the similarity to typical break/continue handling, but I think that
makes the meaning clear.
