	For this example, I'd probably reverse the condition.

	if idx != 103:
		do_something_with(thing)

and hence completely drop the "continue" -- after all, if idx is 103, the
if statement falls through, and the end of the loop acts as an implicit
"continue"

	OTOH: if the "if/continue" is buried in four or five layers of
conditionals, it could be cleaner than trying to configure the conditionals
to have a chained exit.
