I think that `continue` is a well established flow control keyword in programming by now. It's a little bizarre having to show its worth by different examples like it's 1989.
In my opinion, Lua would only benefit from it.

I’ve found that if-statement nesting can be easily removed by re-evaluating (refactoring if you want a better buzz-word) your logic.
You might want to come up with a more convoluted example as one can eliminate the “continue” easily here and many other such trivial examples.
for i = 1, 10 do
if i % 2 ~= 0 then print (i) end
end
> for i = 1, 10 do
> if i % 2 == 0 then continue end
> print( i )
> end
