Doesn't work.  That syntax is already legal.  It makes search a label
for the (beginning of the) compound statement.  You need to either have
a different syntax for specifying the label (::, anyone?), or put the
label with the while, where (IMHO) it belongs:

do {
  /* ... */
} while search: (...);

That is, of course, consistent with the proposed syntax for labelled
while and for loops.
