"continue" is documented only for action=query, too.
[[mw:API:Query#Continuing_queries]] says: "For backwards compatibility, clients
must specify continue= in their initial queries to select this method.", which
is true for action=query&generator=, but not for action=purge.

I don't think it's unreasonable to expect

http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=query&prop=info&generator=allpages&gapfrom=A&gaplimit=2

and

http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=purge&generator=allpages&gapfrom=A&gaplimit=2

to behave the same regarding continuation, and thus expecting a
"query-continue" instead of "continue" for the action=purge request, too.

The current behavior is inconsistent, making it easily possible to miss the
continuation for non-query modules. Only when the "continue" becomes default,
it will be consistent again.
