This is true, that the semantics of locals in repeat..until is not the
real reason.

A summary of Roberto's position: the authors are cautious about
introducing a new loop control mechanism that might have unintended
consequences, and also feel that there are more general constructs
than 'continue' which should be considered.

Does that seem fair?
