Bug description: continue behavior in switch has a potential use
Description:
------------
When the user uses continue in a switch, it behaves essentially the way a
break behaves. However, the name might imply (and I already have use for
this feature) that the switch statement would then continue evaluating
cases, and execute any code under another case statement further down in
the switch which fit the condition.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$j = 0;
switch($j)
{
case 0:
echo "part one ";
break;
case 1:
//blah blah blah
break;
case 0:
echo "part two";
break;
} //Will only ouput "part one"
switch($j)
{
case 0:
echo "part one ";
continue;
case 1:
//blah blah blah
continue;
case 0:
echo "part two";
continue;
} //Should potentially output "part one part two"
?>
Expected result:
----------------
The first statement should behave as it currently would, the second should
evaluate both case 0s, not just the first.
Actual result:
--------------
Both switches evaluate only the first case 0.
