Please formulate this as a DIP if there's interest.

An alternate syntax which supports `break` without a label is to extend switch:

switch {
  auto x = foo();
  if (x == bar) break;
  auto y = x.baz();
  if (!y) break;
  y.writeln;
}

Here the switch condition defaults to true, and `default:` is implied.

I just discovered that JavaScript actually supports this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/label#Using_a_labeled_block_with_break

JS has the same syntax as D for labelled loop break/continue.
