Rejected. I agree that 'continue' is not the best word. I would have
said 'restart', but only if I were Dennis Ritchie defining C; since then
the use of 'break' and 'continue' is so universal as to quell any desire
for improvement.

The control word 'continue.' may easily be construed in each of three different
ways, to go to:
--the next line in the B-block, without finishing a line it's embedded in
(useful perhaps as a debugging insertion);
--the 'end.' of the for.-group, and its next iteration;
--past the 'end.' of the for.-group, to stop iterating.
I propose that 'continue.' be replaced by the less ambiguous 'iterate.'
