smart-ass comment: you should put two breaks in for when some programmer removes one of them six months from now. ;)

edit: i know it's not totally analogous since removing the exit and not noticing there's no break is a lot more likely than just randomly removing a break, but the "let's prevent someone clumsy from screwing this code up in the future" argument always makes me laugh a little.

Of course, you can always take it too far. Two breaks is too far, obviously (I'm pretty sure you agree with me on that).

Is a break after an exit too far? It may well be, but it's less clearly too far than two breaks are.
