Rust error E0571: `break` with value from a `while` loop

What rustc prints

error[E0571]: `break` with value from a `while` loop
 --> main.rs:5:9
  |
3 | let result = while true {
  |              ---------- you can't `break` with a value in a `while` loop
4 |     if satisfied(i) {
5 |         break 2 * i; // error: `break` with value from a `while` loop
  |         ^^^^^^^^^^^ can only break with a value inside `loop` or breakable block
  |
help: use `break` on its own without a value inside this `while` loop
  |
5 -         break 2 * i; // error: `break` with value from a `while` loop
5 +         break; // error: `break` with value from a `while` loop

Real output of rustc 1.99.0 compiling the official example below (2021 edition). Your names and line numbers will differ; the first line is the part to match.

let result = while true {
    if satisfied(i) {
        break 2 * i; // error: `break` with value from a `while` loop
    }
    i += 1;
};

let result = loop { // This is now a "loop" loop.
    if satisfied(i) {
        break 2 * i; // ok!
    }
    i += 1;
};
