Goto's make good thermal conductors. Go ahead and suggest that one might
want to use a goto and I'll bet you'll get a lot of "heat"; perhaps even
a "cold" shoulder or two.

[If it would help anyone, I'd be happy to offer a program which introduces
 a goto per line of code into a program, and has no other effect on it;
 we could run it on an emacs somewhere, and the world would be safe. -mod]
