I'm sorry for my woolly language, but it seems relatively equivalent to a for loop, in which 'break' stops the whole statement and 'continue' skips the inner block and hence returns to the looping code. Perhaps what I'm saying is that I think "do:" is a label for the whole callexpression, covering all lambda-block parameters. As far as the specification goes, a continue that 'hits' the block lambda may well be best described as a local return. Or I might be misreading.
