Another note on continue usage...

The primary case I find myself faking continue in Lightroom is loops of the
form:

   while true do repeat

       if not test_condition_1() then
           wait_for_semaphore_1()
           break -- continue
       end

       if not test_condition_2() then
           wait_for_semaphore_2()
           break -- continue
       end

       -- conditions 1 and 2 now hold

   until true end

This is a fairly stylized usage if that's of any relevance.

I think this is the best argument -for- a continue statement thus far.


.. Although I'm not sure if that's how you intended it?
