I don't know java, but a continue sounds like a forwards goto, and i'll be glad
to accept
any goto i can get. Since a forwards reference for a goto is harder on the
single-pass
compiler/interpreter, since it can't know *where* the target is till it reads
that far in the
code, if the forwards goto is done, the backwards goto would be even easier to
do.
