Why can't a 'continue' statement be inside a 'finally' block?

Question

I don\'t have a problem; I\'m just curious. Imagine the following scenario:

foreach (var foo in list)
{
    try
    {
         //Some code
    }
    catch (E

You may think it makes sense, but it doesn't make sense actually.

foreach (var v in List)
{
    try
    {
        //Some code
    }
    catch (Exception)
    {
        //Some more code
        break; or return;
    }
    finally
    {
        continue;
    }
}

What do you intend to do a break or a continue when an exception is thrown? The C# compiler team doesn't want to make decision on their own by assuming break or continue. Instead, they decided to complain the developer situation will be ambiguous to transfer control from finally block.

So it is the job of developer to clearly state what he intends to do rather than compiler assuming something else.

I hope you understand why this doesn't compile!
