Bug description:  keyword "continue": argument type-check would be safer

Description:
------------
The 'continue' keyword can have a numerical argument which is not
type-checked.

Php could do a type-check on the argument that would catch (some) syntax
errors where the ";" is missing after 'continue'. 

Please consider the syntax error of a missing ";" after 'continue'.

The reproduce-code "eats" the following line during runtime. 


Reproduce code:
---------------
if ( condition ) 
 continue      // missing ; here

$a = "test";



Expected result:
----------------
The line 

  $a = "test"

is expected to be executed if condition is false.


Actual result:
--------------
The line

  $a = "test"

is only executed if 'condition' is true.


No warning during run-time although continue's argument-type is incorrect.
