I do not think that every programming language should have a GOTO. Besides,
for Functional Languages GOTO has no meaning.

The key word is "should". I see no necessary reason for every language
to have GOTO. I also see no necessary reason for any procedural language
to not have GOTO. 

I DO NOT CARE! 

It honestly does not worry me if Euphoria has a GOTO or not. I will
not use it. If other people use it then that's their problem and not 
mine. If people use GOTO in a program they want me to maintain or read,
and the use of the GOTO is not *justified*, it is still their problem
because I would refuse to maintain it as is. 

We agree to disagree, okay?
