A 'continue' statement is illegal in the 'finally' clause due to a problem with the current implementation. After resolving bpo-17611 it will be easy to remove this restriction.

See the patch against PR 5006 at serhiy-storchaka#2.

[gvanrossum]

I think this should be accepted once the code is reviewed.

[serhiy-storchaka]

If there are no objections I'll merge this PR soon.
