Don't make it a religion.  "Goto" is not the devil.  By the way in assembler
there is only "goto"
conditional ones like those that jump to a label if some flag is set or unset
and unconditionnal jump.  Even at call to subroutine is a goto preceded by som
push an registry saving.

There is a place for "goto", with or whitout "goto" a good coder stay a good
coder and a bad one, a bad one.
