I hope we are not trying to avoid 4 letter words in principle here. I
don't understand it anymore: why not introducing a GOTO and a LABEL:,
restricted to modules, functions, and procedures, but no jumps into
functions or procedures or loops or 'if' statements!

I requested this a long time ago, although one don't need it in
principle, but in special cases life with GOTOs in Euphoria would be
more practical.

By the way: people who believe in the right way of 'structured
programming': also structured programs, especially without GOTOs, could
be almost unreadable, your are not save without a GOTO, but it could be
cleaner (and easier) with a GOTO!

Be practical: if it's easier and cleaner: use a GOTO!

I apply for it, 'goto' and 'label:'.

Have a nice day (and excuse my bad English), Rolf Schroeder
