All of my little test snippets of code have those two little words on the first line. I mean, how hard can it be to type break on?

Since I test with different version of KiX all the time, a change in default would still bite me if not tfor those two little words.

Break off is legacy, grandfathered in. I tried to have the default for NoVarsInStrings changed to get coders to switch over but that got shot down too.

You should switch to using WKiX. AFAIK break has been broken on it for quite some time.
