Good Use of GOTO

After hearing from both sides, I've come to the conclusion that the goto being implemented is unnecessary. We are getting loop constructs that handle most of what GOTO would be used for, aren't we? continue, exit, retry, etc... These all lend themselves to maintenance, program flow, structure, while a GOTO does not. Can somebody show me a case (with sample code) where a GOTO would be significantly better than using another construct? Also, please explain why Euphoria would need GOTO if we add PCRE to the interpreter.
