Possibly this came from restrictions of early implementations  of
the PHP interpreter:

     Note: In PHP the switch statement is considered a loop-
     ing  structure  for  the purposes of continue. continue
     behaves like break (when no arguments are passed). If a
     switch  is inside a loop, continue 2 will continue with
     the next iteration of the outer loop.  [0]

I don't know if it is still technically  necessary,  but  anyway,
there's  no  way  back,  because  we're  in a great compatibility
dilemma now.
