Description

Using continue in for-loops does not alter the control variable, which in my opinion it should. For example following loop never terminates because i is never incremented: 

for (int i=1; i<=1; i++) {i; continue;}

continue is internally used for all loops in Singular - so this cannot be changed. The behavior is documented (​http://www.singular.uni-kl.de/Manual/4-0-3/sing_429.htm, ​http://www.singular.uni-kl.de/Manual/4-0-3/sing_463.htm). Maybe we rename it to avoid the confusion with continue of C?
