continue / pass

[excuseem]

it would be great if there were "continue" and "pass" statements

continue: similar to #8.
pass though: what would one need it for?

1. if we know what functions we are going to use for solving the problem, but not sure whether our "main" program works or not, it would be useful to have "pass" for making an empty function initially.
2. with "pass" we can add "elif" clauses afterwards. this sometimes makes code a little bit clearer to read.
3. if we want to keep calling a function while a condition is true, "pass" can be used as an empty loop body.
4. moreover, "pass" might be beneficial for better understanding of someone's code/algorithm.
