I will take a look at this patch before 2.1a1.  I am trying to finish
up some fairly major compiler changes, so it seems natural to
review this patch next.

It seems Jeremy doesn't have time to review it right now, either. Which is
not suprising, looking at the number of tasks assigned to him ;) Maybe
someone else can take a look at this ? It shouldn't be that hard, the patch
isn't *that* controversial, and it would be nice to have this in alpha1, I
do think.

The patch still applies fine, though it gives some harmless offset/fuzz
warnings. Also, you need either to bump the bytecode magic or remove all
.pyc files for it to actually matter (or run 'make distclean'.)

I don't have time to review this myself for now, so I've assigned it to
Jeremy, who is pretty familiar with the compiler and virtual machine.  I do
appreciate the effort very much!  If it works, it should go in.  (What's
the JPython situation?)

Okay, really a new version now. (Forgot to click on 'Upload revised patch'
last time.)

Added documentation changes; the implementation-limitation of 'continue'
inside 'try' was less extensively documented than I feared, and actually
pretty incomplete. TeX code is untested, as I don't have network
connectivity on my laptop right now, and that's the only place I got Fred's
shakey LaTeX setup to work ;)

New version, 'final' as far as I'm concerned, unless the Power that Is
prefers a 'PyFrame_GetCurrentBlock()' function over the ugly 'pop-and-push'
hack that the current patch uses.

Finally figured out why 'try: pass; finally: continue' wasn't raising the
proper error: it never did ! It's just a bug in the current implementation,
not this patch :)

Updated test suites, including a test for the newly functional syntax (in
test_grammar.) Not yet updated docs, those will follow. (Found another bug
in the docs: it says you can do 'continue' inside 'finally', but you never
could.)

Slightly better version, that actually compiles ;P Not done yet, though,
the error for 'continue' inside 'finally' is still off.

Comment:
This patch allows the use of 'continue' inside the 'try' part of try/except
and try/finally. Allowing it inside the 'finally' clause requires more
tricky juggling, however. (Suggestions welcome, of course :)

The patch adds a new opcode, but does not update the bytecode magic.
