'continue' statement with label

Reports continue statements with labels.

Labeled continue statements complicate refactoring and can be confusing.

Example:

  void handle(List<String> strs) {
    outer:
    for (String s: strs) {
      for (char ch : s.toCharArray()) {
        if ('s' == ch) continue outer;
        handleChar(ch);
      }
    }
  }
