1. Re: GOTO (warning: A long response follows)

Hi Everett,
  I understand your concern about creating labels and the temptation to
then use them in an unsafe manner. However, your idea about a "loop
variable ... providing a tag" is essentially the same as a label, in that
it identifies a specific loop construct. Either way will work, it just
depends on a consensus about readability and how easy it is for RDS to
implement.

cheers,
