Didn't the programmers' grandfathers warn them that "GOTO is considered harmful"? To paraphrase Macbeth - "Is this a GOTO I see before me? Come, let me hold you. I don’t have you but I can still see you. Fateful apparition, isn’t it possible to touch you as well as see you? Or are you nothing more than a GOTO created by the mind, a hallucination from my fevered brain? I can still see you, and you look as real as this other GOTO that I’m pulling out now ..."
