I think we should look at swapping out the parser for something more context aware before we start adding more generic keywords that have global symbol ramifications and has name BC implications.

There is some code (lots?) out there that has:

class SomeClass {
    public function resume() { ... }
} Also, perhaps there are more object models out there that deal with "resumé" that was written as "resume". Those would break code too since resume couldn't be a class name. -ralph On 4/28/13 10:27 AM, Julien Pauli wrote:

please don't reuse the continue keyword for it. There are a bunch of code out there where which uses exceptions in a loop context. For example you have a retry counter decremented in a loop and you catch the exceptions and retry until the retry limit is reached.
Fair enough. We can use "resume".
"continue" is just a keyword (syntactic sugar) we sure can change, I like "resume" yes :-) Julien.Pauli
