Not really allowed to share (closed source codebase) but it's enough to say that, when you have multiple nested loops, having the feature is convenient. I could try to make a more "realistic" example, but that might still be contrived. However, note a few things: goto can't cross declaration boundaries, which would require for (...) {{ } label_continue:;} syntax, which I find odd. Second, I think goto is less readable. Third, many companies ban use of "goto" keyword, and I think this offers a cleaner alternative that doesn't require the forbidden fruit.
