> Allowing breaking out of blocks, you don’t need the continue keyword:

  'loop: loop 'block: {
    // continue
    break 'block;
    // break
    break 'loop;
  }
I get the intellectual appeal of experimentation, self-imposed constraints, minimizing instruction sets, etc.

But forcing block labeling in order to avoid the necessity of continue statements seems like a wrong turn,
