works here:

; for(i in 1 2 3){echo $i;break}
1

it's a relatively simple change.  there's no reason continue couldn't be added
in the same way. i just didn't since without break you need condition variables.
but continue can be replaced by slightly rewriting your code.
	if(x)continue;block
can be replaced with
	if(! x)block
so it didn't seem worth the bother.
