Johannes Altmanninger 87c73b7fbf builtin break/continue: support -h/--help argument
These are not generic builtins because we check whether they're inside
a loop. There's no reason to not support "break -h" when we support
"if -h" etc.; do that.

.. _cmd-continue:
continue - skip the remainder of the current iteration of the current inner loop
================================================================================
Synopsis
--------
.. synopsis::
LOOP_CONSTRUCT; [COMMANDS ...;] continue; [COMMANDS ...;] end
Description
-----------
``continue`` skips the remainder of the current iteration of the current inner loop, such as a :doc:`for <for>` loop or a :doc:`while <while>` loop. It is usually added inside of a conditional block such as an :doc:`if <if>` statement or a :doc:`switch <switch>` statement.
The **-h** or **--help** option displays help about using this command.
Example
-------
The following code removes all tmp files that do not contain the word smurf.
::
for i in *.tmp
if grep smurf $i
continue
end
# This "rm" is skipped over if "continue" is executed.
rm $i
# As is this "echo"
echo $i
end
