I think goto should be added, however, if goto exists and it makes sense to use
it in a given situation, then it should be allowed in the standard library.
Everyone is afraid of spaghetti code. We can create spaghetti code with or
without goto. What stops us from doing so? Hopefully those contributing to
Euphoria know how to program w/o spaghetti. Hopefully those peer reviewing
commits will recognize spaghetti when it's committed. To say that goto could
*possibly* create spaghetti *if* used improperly by a *novice* programmer
therefore it should not be allowed in the standard library sounds a bit odd to
me.
