Assuming this idea truly does have momentum, I hope we do not get so focused on 
the `perfect` that we postpone the `good` indefinitely. There is always next 
version...

Can you elaborate on this, with use-cases and syntax examples, please?

Given A.L.E.C.'s point about BCy, I think `next` would be much more likely to 
conflict with code-in-the-wild than `fallthrough.`

That said, if we overload `continue` with an argument of `next`, that might be 
best of both worlds, e.g. `continue next;`
