in reply to Thoughts on naming loop LABEL:

ybiC,

My thoughts run along the line of function. What is the label doing.

Usually, the label is referring to iteration round a loop. What is the iteration? I guess it is also a noun, but in CAPS to distinguish from the scalar loop variable (but they could still be the same English word).

next ITEM; last ATTEMPT; redo GAME_TURN;
