Whoo... :)

32K case blocks AREN'T good practice, and probably calling procedures would have
been better. But then again, that isn't Euphoria; perhaps C or QB would have a
_larger_ overhead for calling procedures...

But my final point i'm trying to get at is that goto really shouldn't go into
the interpreter, as a form of 'goto' already exists. Sure, it may not goto a
line or do really spashul things like it may have in other languages, but thats
how it is, I suppose.

For the greater purpose, calling procedures in case statements is how I have
usually used goto's, and usually how i've seen goto's used. Maybe i'm reeeally
shortsided, so sue me.  But for the Euphoria core interpreter, it shouldn't
be, in my opinion. Yours may be different, thats kewl, but for now, i'm done
defending my position :)

(FYI, this is the most I've defended my position on something on this list :)
