You don't.

Rewrite your control logic using while loops, for loops, if statements,
case statements, functions, state variables, etc.

So there's a block of code in the middle that you want to skip over,
if some condition is met?  Wrap that whole middle section in an "if"
statement.  You can also move it to a(nother) function if that'll help
with readability.

local skip=0

if ((i == 1)); then
    skip=1
fi

if ((!skip)); then
    echo foobar
fi

echo go on
