Everett,

Believe me, we all already know you do not like gotos, routine-ids and
peeks and pokes. The last three are just basic tools, integral parts
that keep the rest of the language simple and uncluttered.

I know campaigners like you almost never change their minds. But,
please, just for a moment, forget all ivory tower dictates, go into
the Archives and have a look around. You will find almost all
significant / interesting contributions depend heavily on those basic
tools.

What are you trying to achieve anyway? Rob is not going to delete them
from our vocabulary just because you keep hitting us with the
structural programming bible.
