I like languages that let the programmer do what he wants instead of what the
language creator thinks the programmer should be allowed to do.  Goto is a
valuable part of a language, and very useful in cases where other language
features haven't been implemented like continue in loops.  One con of putting
goto in a language though is that it slows it down, which is probably one reason
Rob won't put it in Euphoria.  It may make it easier to write sloppy code, but
people who will do that will find some way to do it whether they have goto or
not, so don't punish the people who might need it by leaving it out.
