break and continue are interesting keywords. (In the "may you live in interesting times" sense.) Sometimes they have the same effect, if a control structure is non-looping. Or they may have different effects in case it is. The main non-looping case is switch, where for reasons that were before my time the decision was made to deprecate continue in favor of just supporting break. However, blocking it entirely is a problem, because that would change where continue 2 would go (as switch would be removed as a "level" that it could go to). It is kind of a mess.

Nikita's original proposal was indeed to ban continue targeting switch: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/continue_on_switch_deprecation That doesn't mean any targets would get re-numbered, it just means that the case which currently raises a Warning would have thrown an Error. It was talked down to a Warning during discussion: https://externals.io/message/102393 That was partly about backwards compatibility, which doesn't apply here, so I personally think either Warning or Error would be fine. -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
