No but seriously folks - my votes would be (if this was a ballot) put goto in
but ensure that the examples don't use it too much. Sometimes you've just
got to do a GOTO - the 'correct' code is just too twisted. I agree with whoever
it was that said "taking goto out of a language doesnt make someone a
good programmer"
