Hey,
I think the benefit of `switch` supporting `continue` is to ensure
consistency
in the number of breakable/continuable structures. Consider
foreach ($a as $e) {
switch ($e) {
case 0:
foreach ($x as $y) {
if (!$y) break 3;
}
}
}
If I need to change `break` to `continue`, I will naturally change
`break 3` to
`continue 3`. I would suggest sticking to same in context managers —
have it respected
not because you would ever `continue` to exit it, but to have the onion
layer numbers
consistent.
