Why isn't there a 'cfcontinue' tag?

We are working to improve the examples in the ColdFusion reference pages. We propose to replace the current example on this page with the the following example. If you have any comments on this example, add them to this page.

SELECT *
FROM Courses
ORDER by Number

This example uses CFLOOP to cycle through a query to find a value.
(In our example, a list of values corresponding to courses in the Snippets
datasource). When the conditions of the query are met, CFBREAK stops the loop.

Please enter a Course Number, and hit the "submit" button:

i just found out today that cfbreak *also* breaks out of a cfswitch statement which it didn't used to do. So if you have a cfswitch within a cfloop and call the cfbreak inside of one of the cfcases, it will keep on looping.

Personally I think this was added to the language with false logic. In most other languages the break; statement is associated with cases. i.e. in c++ it's like this:

switch (expr) {
case c1:
statements // do these if expr == c1
break;
case c2:
statements // do these if expr == c2
break;
}

Where the break; separates the various case statements. but in cfml, we already have a

statements // do these if expr == c1

statements // do these if expr == c2

Adding a inside of the case, is the same thing as closing the cfcase.

This makes CFMX not backwards compatible with CF5.
