well to each his own. In case of the cleanup phase before return I find it to be much cleaner with goto, since usually it's sub 10 lines and you'd have to program a function that gets pointers or objects passed that then get freed/destroyed, which I find ugly as hell. I look at such an outer procedure as an 'owner' of these objects and therefore I want to see the allocations and deallocations in plain text right there.
