You can lodge an enhancement request, example code:

void main()
{
	label: {
	  // ..code..
	  writefln("code1");
	  writefln("break..");
	  break label;  // jumps to "here:"
	  // ..code..
	  writefln("code2");
	}
	// break lands here
	writefln("here");
}

Current error:
   test.d(nn): Error: enclosing label 'label' for break not found

In fact, as any BlockStatement can be labeled you can argue any  
BlockStatement label should be 'breakable'.
