Some of the examples of goto given is what scares people, me included. I'd 
not allow jumping in/out of a proc/function. I am not sure i'd allow jumping 
into a loop of another sort, but i would allow jumping out of one (like exit or 
break or continue or resume or repeat-until). Jumping into/out of procedures 
breaks what goto is for.

We'll have the one-off routines. Then it will compound, there'll be one-off 
merges with other one-off versions, but with different code, and therefor 
different quirks. Who uses Bach? Hellooo..... <echo>
