We need goto to be able to jump out of a loop early.
Redundant if statements are such a pain.
  Lets add exit to avoid adding goto.

We want need goto to leap back to the beginning of a for
loop and keep the index value the same.  We are now trying
another approach, we changed something else.
  Lets add retry to avoid adding goto.

We want need goto in order to proceed through a loop without
executing any following code within the loop before starting
the next iteration.
  Lets add continue to avoid adding goto.


MORE keywords are CLEANER than one easy to understand KEYWORD?
