I'd like to combine two existing concepts:

When selecting a 'break' statement, the enclosing block statement being broken from is highlighted together with its closing brace.

When selecting the return type or 'void' in a method declaration, all exits from that method are hightlighted.

So, when selecting keywords 'while', 'switch' etc. it would be cool if all possible exits where highlighted, including 'break', 'return', 'continue outerLabel' and locations where exceptions are known to be thrown.
