Thank you, Leo. The trick is witty. But I'd like to have both... Am I too

Hugo,
of course, a proper "continue" statement is long overdue in Lua. On
this list this is a constantly recurring topic (I hope Roberto reads
this:-)

But being a seasoned C/C++ programmer, there is only one thing I miss a
lot: a continue statement! Please, please, I know that people asking for
new
features to be added to a language usually annoy its designers, and
generally for good reason. But I honestly think this would be a great
addition which would cost practically nothing and would benefit the
language
and make it more coherent.

Hugo,
you can fake continue with a "break" inside until...repeat construct, see
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2006-12/msg00440.html
The price to pay is that your "break" effectively becomes "continue"
in this scope.
Hope it helps,
