This is getting silly, really ;-)

Jumping out of loops is ok, but jumping back in is not: you can
never know whether the optimizer rearranges the loop code, so
jumping *into* loop constructs is not going to be portable.

I'll remove the macro completely and also fix the UTF16 codec
which has the same continue problem.
