That's their problem, not mine. I was paid for code too, once upon a time.
And i used goto. In fact, i added assy code to evaluate variables so i could
goto them too.

Yeas, of course. You humans always believe the downside. You can't figure
maybe i can use it to do the appropriate task, so you wish to save me from
your problems, sheesh. Email is used for spam, it should all be illegal. The
phone is used by salespeople to interrupt dinner. Television broadcasts porn,
tv should be illegal too. Ditto the internet.

It's another goto in disguise. So is the elsif, for that matter. Picture the
little
goto at the end of each elsif that executes in that stack of if-elsif-end, where
the goto points to the end of the stack.
