for-while-break-continue is such a standard, I still don't see what justifies breaking it. (Do you really have less-than-N-characters rule? :) ) That fact that `continue` doesn't appear often is exactly why it has never been annoying to type.

What if there are three nested loops, two of which contain if-cond-then-continue, wouldn't the new syntax be too ambiguous?
