But even loading a disk file into an array already made with repeat(),
the bigger the file, the slower it goes, drastically. I am talking about
a 34megabyte file in this case, but i have files 100x that big.

As usual, i'd prefer all of it be included. While the dynamic goto
is used rarely, that's not because it isn't needed in the cases it's used.
I needed it way back in C64 days, and wrote enough peeks and pokes to
modify the oem rom code to make it happen. As for Euphoria, it makes a
handy case() statement as well.
I suppose there's no need to restart a flame war about goto,
so i won't argue it anymore, i'll just say i want it.
It was me, i confess,
and you prolly figured out, i emailed CK to add goto to the bounty site.
It doesn't make sense to throw away good code you already wrote
just because a few people won't use it.
