IMO, the original version that you've suggested looks best.  I can't see 
any way of improving the syntax.  Well maybe the continue part could be 
improved, like:

foreach (i ; coll1) (j ; coll2)
{
   ... use i and j ...
}
continue(i)
{
   ... coll2 finished; use i ...
}
continue(j)
{
   ... coll1 finished; use j ...
}

Or perhaps a word like "finish" would be better.
