Terry says

<<Note, although the word 'continue' might suggest a NOP type
instruction (NOP = No OPeration ... just continue forward!), that is
not what occurs in C++ (instead, a jump occurs as described in the
previous sentence)  ...  they should have chosen a better name for
the statement !>>

Continue has ancient roots in loopology from Fortran days :-)
