✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so. a label? it's an identifier that you attach to a line or a statement, and its whole vibe is enabling different types of flow control. like, it's the little name tag that lets other parts of your code point at this specific spot 💅

for example — and this is the classic one — a loop might have a label attached so that a "last" or "next" flow control statement can be used from multiple levels below to reference that loop directly. no cap, that's genuinely the move. you're deep in nested loops, everything is chaos, and the label is your main character moment pulling you right back out 🌈

---

💅 METHODS 💅

here's the thing, and honestly? kind of iconic of it:

there are no additional methods beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token and PPI::Element classes.

that's it. it inherits everything, adds nothing, and still shows up. respect. 🙈
