I think the example I gave shows the GOTO version to be easier to understand
and that can often be the case.  The problem with GOTO is like the problem
with Nukes... proliferation.  The best way to keep them from being used is
not to have them.  We don't have the choice with Nukes, but we do have the
choice here and now with GOTOs.
