Well it would be great if this could just be some kind of syntactic sugar, so 
this:

{code:xml}
<#if conditionToSkip> 
    <#continue
</#if>
<execute>
{code}

Could be just syntactic sugar for:

{code:xml}
<#if conditionToSkip> 
<#else>
    <execute>    
</#if>
{code}

> Sorely missing ability to skip through an iteration of a list and continue on 
> with the rest of the list. would like to write clean code like this:
> <#list collection as element>
>         <#if element.attr1 == "some_value"> 
>                 <#continue />  <#-- skip over this item and run next item in 
> loop -->
>         </#if>
>     do stuff here
> </#list>
> Thanks!
