This reminded me of the header files for the old OPUS BBS code:

	#define  BEGIN  {
	#define  END    }

My, oh, my.

ObOnTopic:

I side with the folks who use "break" and "continue" and I wouldn't like
using C without them. I feel they make for much cleaner code. If ones
loops are so dense that "break" and "continue" seem to add confusion,
perhaps the loop needs rewriting.

I also VERY MUCH agree with the poster who said that, although the issue
is probably unresolvable, it is well worth discussing.
