Re: I'd give my right arm for a continue statement

The answer is to re-factor your code so you don't have such a horrible loop construct in the first place. Easy.

And what if `continue' is needed from within deeply nested blocks? Even with depth of 2 (as in an example below) there's no simple replacement to it.

while condition do
Â-- some code
Âif test1 then
 -- more code
 if test2 then
  continue
 end
 -- more code
Âend
Â-- more code
end

Lucky you this code is inside a loop. ;-)
