I think I've got it figured out (I think...) To stick with current
keyword conventions, this is how next will operate:

    -- example 1:
    for i = 1 to 5 do
        if i = 4 then
            next    -- should skip 4
        end if
    end for

    -- example 2:
    while 1 do
        if some_condition then
            next -- skip the rest of the code
        end if
        -- do something else
    end while

This way next operates just like exit, except it goes to the top of
the loop, not the bottom. Give me a few days to get it worked out,
there's still a few parts of the interpreter I don't understand, which
is preventing me from getting everything working.
