Continue out of FORALL loop in Chapel

Question

When you write it all caps like that, you really see the FORTRAN heritage. Anyway, I can't get the forall continue syntax correct.

var ids = {1,2,3,5,7,11};

forall id in ids {
  if id == 5 then writeln("High Five!!");
  if id == 7 then continue;
  writeln(id);
}

How does one properly "skip out of this loop" when using forall in Chapel?

== EDIT ==

Error is

 error: break or continue is not in a loop

Well that's a terrible error message! If you'd file a GitHub issue against it, that would be much appreciated. — Brad, Oct 20 '17 at 16:20
A distributed infrastructure re-signalling of the local locale emitted break signal would be indeed a language challenge. — user3666197, Oct 20 '17 at 18:00

Beyond the misleading error message, I think you've simply run into an unimplemented feature in the current version of Chapel (1.16.0). I.e., I believe that this ought to work. Let's co-opt the issue you filed in the comments section above to continue the discussion.
