Ok, each to their own. I've never had problem with large elsif statements as 
long as they're indented correctly, and EE does that automagically for me, 
as well as putting the 'end if' in.

If I write set of elsif clauses with especially large contents, or it seems 
that the elsif statements may be confusing, I'll either put a double indent 
on anything inside, so it's easier to see, or put a comment label at the top 
of each branch, so I see it when scrolling past.

Besides, goto is evil :P (j/k)
