What I really need is 'next' because I'm sick and tired of putting a
bunch of code in an 'if' statement.

for x = 1 to 50 do

    if some_condition then
        -- do a lot of code here
    end if

end for

-- OR --

for x = 1 to 50 do

    if not some_condition then
        -- skip to next x
        next
    end if

    -- do a lot of code here (1-level down)

end for

'select/case' would be nice, too. :)
