Yes, goto's are very common the reason is simplicity. I push onto the "jump"
stack a label when, say a while is started, and when a continue is hit, I access
the stack, when an end while is hit, I pop from the stack, etc...
It's much easier to translate using goto than trying to map all sorts of custom
logic to set structures. Now, you can easily map any code of my code by hand to
existing structures, but try to do it automated and maintain reliability.
