  continue was called loop for some reason
How strange! Does anyone know why?

There was an early rule that Rust keywords should be five characters or less. I would guess it's because of this rule. I believe loop turned into cont to satisfy this rule, and then eventually we relaxed the rule, and it became continue.

Whoa, do you know who and why came up with that? So strange, making it less readable on purpose?
