I care to disagree.

We have a coding rule that forbids the use of goto.
I generally like that rule - it prevents insufficiently
trained people from messing around.

Then again, I have never needed goto for other than
emulating "continue". So I see this as an exceptional case.

I hereby cast my vote for introducing the "continue"
keyword in Ada-0x
