Interesting side note: I'd initially wanted to use "skip_all" and
"continue", but "continue" is a C keyword. That's why I'd reluctantly
suffixed "_oper" to both for consistency.
It seems a good idea to restrict such uglification to only those cases
where it's necessary, not make _everything_ ugly just for the sake of
consistency.....
[The traditional thing to do with C-keyword conflicts, when there's no
obvious and natural alternative, seems to just be intentional mispelling
-- "continu", "kontinue", "cont", "_continue", whatever. Yes, they're
ugly, but people will know why you did it, and they'll forgive you.]
