Re: Lua 5.2 and continue

- I don't know anyone who doesn't use 'continue', at least from time to 
time.
- It doesn't break anything, aside from introducing a new key word. 
Existing code will work. The repeat..until issue can be handled during 
file parsing and reported as a bug, naturally.

I can't agree that position of Lua Team is conservative. The features 
already included in Lua 5.2 aren't of conservative kind and are quite 
questionable.
