Swift has decided to build this pattern into the language. I kind of like it
but it's also kind of messy looking and a continue at the top of the block
often is easier to read for me. In pascal it would look like this:
for item in list where item.value > 10 do
begin
end;
Which would be the same as:
for item in list do
begin
if item.value <= 10 then
continue;
end;
or with traditional for loops but this really looks bad.
for i := 0 to list.Count - 1 where list[i] > 10 do
begin
end;
