Re: Added `continue` keyword to Lua 5.4 [code review requested].

I’ve found that if-statement nesting can be easily removed by re-evaluating (refactoring if you want a better buzz-word) your logic.

You might want to come up with a more convoluted example as one can eliminate the “continue” easily here and many other such trivial examples.

for i = 1, 10 do
  if i % 2 ~= 0 then print (i) end
end
