I definitely prefer 'continue'. Using 'next' will make it unavailable as an
identifier name for linked lists and the like, and worse, there is no good
substitute. I think this is why many language choose 'continue' as the keyword
for this. It may be a bit longer to type but then again it is not typed that
often.

this year.
