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
 -- some code
 if test1 then
  -- more code
  if test2 then
    continue
  end
  -- more code
 end
 -- more code
end

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