Note that here they wrote "*this* class", while the rest of the rules
have no such clarification.  It's quite possible that the exercises
for CSMC 201 are such that "break" or "continue" would rarely be good
style, and a more general rule will be introduced in more advanced
classes.  I suspect that the faculty and TAs would revolt if they
frequently had to plow through the kind of example you presented.
