I had asked for an example f spaghetti code originally written less than 5 years
ago (any language).

This doesn't appear to qualify, and no one else cared to show any.

Spaghetti code is as weak as most of the arguments against goto I have seen
tossed aroundhere. That alone would reinforce me in the idea that it certainly
doesn't harm to have it in, even if I don't think I'd use it a lot. I write in
asm if I want top speed.
