As discussed in the future of Lua thread, one way of adding a
"continue" statement to the language was to allow it in all cases,
except when it causes initialisation of a variable used in an until
clause to be skipped. The included patch is provided so that
discussions on this approach can be enhanced by experience of
experimenting with the approach.
