Description

A block to break loops could be very useful, in addition to being fundamental to programming languages.
To avoid confusing new users, simply use a name like "leave this loop".

That's it :)

Research direction

The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing loop blocks and their execution behavior in the Scratch desktop application, then determine how a user-facing “leave this loop” block should be represented and tested. Done should include working loop-breaking behavior and clear wording for new users.
