Meh, continue seems like a weird keyword to use, since it means you act on a "negative" condition. If this is true, skip the rest. Most code like thay could just be inverted and be perfectly readable. For when you really need it, you could just use a block in CL and emulate it using return-from. Return and break are really the same thing, and don't really need to be separate. CL is really an imperative language as well, it is just that it doesn't force you to be imperative to return things from an if or such things. Scheme is a different beast. Since it provides you with the mother of all control structures (call/cc or prompts in guile/racket) mutability isn't really good if you want safety.
