Why? 
Here's how you use one keyword instead of six:

--repeat until
:repeat
x -= 1  
if x > 12 then goto repeat end if


-- case
atom fred, a, d
fred = 45
a = 1
d = 44

goto x
 puts(1,x&" is not covered") goto caseend
   :1 puts(1,"it's 1!") goto caseend
   :34 puts(1,"wow, 34!")
   :"Sam" puts(1,"you got Sam!" goto caseend
   :a+d puts(1,"Yep, fred is 45!") goto caseend
:caseend

-- continue, retry, restart, and next
  :restart
for loop = 1 to 12 do
  :retry
  -- code    
    if test = failed then goto retry end if
    if thistest = failed then goto restart end if
    if bored = true then goto next end if
    if done then goto demoend end if
  -- code
  :next
end for
:demoend

You know exactly where each "goto" lands, each :target can be in your own native
language, and OOEU prooves it can be done. It's ONE word. It's so SIMPLE.
