Hi,

Either Im totaly missing something about GOTO or I just
havent had a real pressing need for them in any language
I've tried out.

I started out with Hyperkinetix, Builder in 1993 (I think 93)
anyway, I found a few programs I wrote in builder back then
and I did use "goto" but very little.

Why should we even go there (I mean GO TO there)
when we can simply use call_backs or routine_id
to do the very samething a GOTO would do.

I could possibly see a need if you perhaps wanted to setup a line number 
type scripting language but, there isnt a need for them in Euphoria. It 
really would confuse people I think if Eu had them.
