Not directly, but yes, indirectly via --rcfile=FILE where FILE defaults 
to .coveragerc and the configuration file has
[report]
exclude_lines =
     if __name__ == .__main__.:

I believe Ned pointed that out to me when I reported the 'problem' to him.

If 'continue' were added under 'exclude_lines', the 'can't get 100% 
coverage' continue issue should go away also. (Yes, I know it is not 
quite that simple, as there will be times when continue is skipped that 
should be reported. But I suspect that there will nearly always be some 
other line skipped and reported, so that a false 100% will be rare.)
