Description

In a similar manner as with brackets highlighting (place the cursor on a bracket, the corresponding one will be highlighted), it would be useful to highlight the matching label/loop for "break" and "continue" statements.

Take for example this (poorly written) PHP code:

for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
    for ($j = 0; $j < 10; $j++) {
        
        if ($i + $j == 10) {
           continue;
{{        }}}
        
        if ($j % 2) {
            continue(2);
{{        }}}
        
        echo "$i + $j", PHP_EOL;
{{    }}}
}

It would be useful when highlighting each "continue" statement to visually see which loop block it references. Same with "break".
