Read PEP 340 again -- the "continue EXPR" syntax is orthogonal to the
discussion -- PEP 340 adds it for *all* for loops, so for loops with
the non-looping block statements would also be able to use it.

I don't think it "damages" any features.  Are there features you still
think the non-looping proposal removes?  (I'm not counting orthogonal
feautres like "continue EXPR" which could easily be added as an
entirely separate PEP.)
