 Branches may only reference labels defined by an outer *enclosing construct*.
 This means that, for example, references to a `block`'s label can only occur 
-within the `block`'s body. In practice, outer `block`s can be used to place labels for any

+In practice, outer `block`s can be used to place labels for any given branching
+pattern, except for one restriction: one can't branch into the middle of a loop
+from outside it. This restriction ensures all control flow graphs are well-structured
+in the exact sense as in high-level languages like Java, JavaScript, Rust and Go. To
+further see the parallel, note that a `br` to a `block`'s label is functionally
+equivalent to a labeled `break` in high-level languages in that a `br` simply
+breaks out of a `block`.
