So what is a reasonable way to judge importance then?  A survey?  A 
phone call?  Python has it?  A willingness to pony up money to have it 
implemented?

From my vantage point, having the keyword 'continue' makes my code much 
more clear.  I've stated it before on the list.  It is so useful to me 
that I maintain a separate Lua distribution with the 'continue' patch 
applied.  I (and others around me) use the continue keyword often enough 
that having LuaJIT not support it is a big deal to me.  Perhaps I can 
pay Mike some money to implement it?
