Either a block is a block, no matter how you get there, or the continue
part is embedded in the block it is continuing -- conceptually, that is.

At the moment, we have some sort of pseudo block around a while(){} anyway,
i.e. the variables declared inside the parentheses are visible within the
block but not outside -- even though they're not declared within the braces
 -- so an argument may be made for either case.

Personally, I'd favor the second solution.
