Conciseness, plus avoidance of gratuitous "goto" (banned by various coding guidelines)

I'm not sure what you mean.
For clarity, here's my previous example using the continue statement:

   loop
      if Some_Condition then
         continue;
      end if;
      --  Or, yet more concisely,
      continue when Another_Condition;
      --  a couple 100 lines of code ...
   end loop;
