RE: goto... (2 more cents)

I think that we should start a Euphoria war!  We'll have the GOTO 
faction vs. the 'not for a million dollars' camp.

Then we'll come up with some goto-version vs. no-goto-version coding 
competitions and see which is faster and/or easier to follow.

The Euphorialimpics!  Sound like fun?

PS - I know the latter will probably lose the obfuscated coding 
competition but I'm willing to live with that.
