Just for the record, I wasn't advocating adding a switch statement, it
was merely and observation. I don't really miss it:

http://lua-users.org/wiki/SwitchStatement

I don't really miss continue either. It tends to be useful for things
like parsing but I haven't done an awful lot of that - most of my tools
are still in Python, which does has continue! :-)
