In the C Reference Manual at the end of the Ritchie book in section 9.6
Ritchie describes the 'for' statement as being equivalent to the 'while'
statement as follows:

The 'for' statement has the form 
	for (expression-1 ; expression-2 ; expression-3) statement

This statement is equivalent to
	expression-1;
	while (expression-2) {
		statement
		expression-3;
	}

This does not seem to hold when 'statement' is a continue.  In the 
while statement, expression-3 will not get executed.  Am I misunderstanding
something?
