Is there an equivalent to "continue" (python) in rebol?

Question

I am converting some python code to rebol, and I just came across a "continue" instruction. It interrupts the processing of a loop, going to the next iteration of the loop.

I find this word quite elegant and readable.

I came across some answers there: (in French), but nothing really "elegant": http://pl.legoff.free.fr/dotclear/vf/index.php/post/2003/01/05/Equivalent-d-un-Continue-ou-Next-dans-une-bouc As this converation is about 10 years old, maybe some improvements were made in Rebol since?

Answer 1

You can do it in Rebol2 using exceptions:

continue: does [throw 'continue]

loop 2 [
    catch [
        print {"This'll print", {DocKimbel} said.}
        continue
        print {"This won't print", {DocKimbel} said.}
    ]
]

In case you have custom exceptions to handle in the loop, you can use the /name refinement as in catch/name [...] 'continue to avoid catching other exceptions. It is even possible to override iterators to do it transparently for you, but at the cost of some slower performances.
