This totally depends on how you code. The few times I've used goto in C, the
number of entry points was exactly one. Sure, get sloppy and enter from a
thousand points, whoa! Look out, that's code that is probably easier to analyze
the problem from scratch and rewrite w/o even becoming corrupted with the twisted
mess that was originally created.
