Yeah, it's very common to borrow ideas like that. I just find it rather neat that Pike reused an existing keyword rather than creating a new one - Python had the same dilemma and chose to create a weird context-dependent keyword for a few versions, most other languages just made it a keyword and that's that, but Pike chose to go "well, let's call these things 'continue functions', and then we can use that word!".
