that would be ok,
but i think continue is useful for eliminating deep nests

Hello Leo,

I admit "continue" would simplify the code written, but why not use

for i=0,9 do
        ...
        if <continue_condition1> then
                ...
                if <continue_condition2> then
                        ...
                end
        end
end

Or have I misunderstood your question?
