  K&R page 62 section 3.9

  I qoute :

 "C provides the infinitely-abusive goto statement, and labels to branch to.
  Formally, the goto is never necessary, and in pratice it is almost always
  easy to write code without it."

  Then they give two examples one using the goto to get out deeply nested
  structure and then the second with flags and tests to exit showing
  that code involving a goto can always be written without one.

  All Euphoria needs two keywords, one that breaks out of a single nested
  structure and one that breaks out of deeply nested structure. This would
  would eliminate the abuse of a goto.
