Ashwin,
my solution is for "continue" construct only. I agree with you that
having both "break" and "continue" within a same loop poses a
challenge to Lua. Work around involves unnecessary flag and looks
ugly.

I hope that there is enough interest in having "continue" statement
implemented in Lua 5.2. Any comments by developers??
