[M3devel] saving indentation?

[Dragiša Durić]

Excellent post. I may use it to explain to friends Why Modula-3 :).

Point remains, Modula-3 does not need any of this sugar, because it has TRY-FINALLY.

If you really have complex code in need of continue, why don't add inner loop where EXIT will, in fact, just finish inner body and return immediately to outer body (your loop you wish to continue)? It surely is extra level of indentation, but is better than deep IF.
