Its ashame. The goto syntax isn't easy on the eyes, but it was powerful

Hmm, no it doesn't, it just forces users to pick meaningful names
instead of just "muh, whatever, I'll just use ::continue::" -- in other
words, the result is probably _better_ than a simple "continue" in most
cases...

[If continue were the sort of thing that gets used _a lot_ maybe this
would be too high a burden.  But it's not.]

What's it to you if people want to "mindlessly" pick ::continue:: as their label? Pick a meaningful label for yourself. What's it to you if people use continue control structures? Why is this so religious?
