Research direction

Start in modules/org/transcrypt/compiler.py, where default JavaScript aliases are defined. Read the existing alias handling and check how reserved keywords such as continue and catch are parsed. Done means the requested aliases compile to the corresponding JavaScript method names without parser errors, with the scope of any additional aliases resolved.

Description

When using IndexedDB, there is a continue() method in IDBCursor object. It is impossible to use in python due to parser error as "continue" is a reserved keyword. Trivial solution is to add 'js_continue' => 'continue' default alias into modules/org/transcrypt/compiler.py. Maybe it makes sense to add all python keywords this way. At least some other keywords like js_catch which is used in promises should be added.
