No. "continue [loop_name]" is the appropriate solution. It does express the
intent of the programmer.

The "goto label" version is a workaround to a missing language expressivity.
"continue [loop_name]" like "exit [loop_name]" would be clearer.

Of course, you never need any of them. "if then end if" and "goto" will do
the job anyway.

The "natural solution" is to command the compiler to skip over to the next
iteration.
