--- This function takes the AST of a continue-enabled loop, parse
--- its body to find all instances of [`Continue]. If any of them
--- is found ([label~=nil]), they're transformed in [`Goto{...}], and
--- the corresponding label is added at the end of the loop's body.
---
--- Caveat: if a [continue] appears in the non-body part of a loop
--- (and therefore is relative to some enclosing loop), it isn't
--- handled, and therefore causes a compilation error. This could
--- only happen due in a [`Stat{ }], however, since [`Function{ }]
--- cuts the search for [`Continue].
