I did mean the local limited version, but it depends on the programming language (for example, some have a break command and continue command, etc). However, it is a good point that it is not necessarily performance-equivalent. I think that (for this reason and for other reasons too), that most general purpose programming languages (and many ones with special purposes, too) should have a goto command. (Although, there are also some kind of programming languages for which I would think that having a goto command would be inappropriate, such as Verilog and Haskell.)
