RE: [sv-bc] scope of break/continue within foreach loop

Imho break should break the whole loop any other hahviour would be just
hard to understand ie:

module top;
int arr[10][3];
initial
foreach (arr[i,j]) begin
        $display(i, j);
        if (i==2) break; //this breaks the foreach and finishes whole tests
end
endmodule

Subject: [sv-bc] scope of break/continue within foreach loop

A foreach statement with multiple variables is defined as equivalent to a
set of nested for loops. If a break statement is executed in the body of a
forever loop, does it break out of the innermost of these nested for loops,
or does it break out of the outermost? Likewise for a continue statement.
I guess it should be the outermost loop. Could this be clarified?
