Yes, of course. Read my replies to Terry J. Reed, to Josiah Carlton, to Talin, to see why I chose to compare it to the 'continue' syntax.

I saw them. Your brain must be wired very differently to mine, because I find loops with a continue in them harder to follow than ones without -- exactly the opposite of what you seem to prefer.

Also, I don't find an extra indendation level to be a problem at all, unless the code under it is more than a screen long -- in which case you've got big readability problems already.
