continent code for country

[sventech]

I find that for mapping purposes I'd like to do a drilldown from continent to country to region/state. Would you be open to incorporating continent codes? (e.g., a pull request)

ISO 3166 Continent Members

Update; Actually, I'm not sure what to do with Russia, Turkey, Cyprus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Armenia that border Europe and Asia.

There are some outliers, hey?

I don't mind adding the info at all - seems very relevant. Though if we did, I think I'd want to tweak the data structure to nest everything into the continent grouping.

OK, this is not a priority for me so I'll hold off for now. Thanks!
