Breaking out - the ratfor approach

[Ted Nolan]

<goto GRAD_SCHOOL; /* do not collect $200*/>

If anyone really feels strongly enough about a special syntax for breaking out
of multiple loops, why not write a preprocessor to do it for you, as ratfor
imposes structure on FORTRAN?  Then you and your organization have your coveted
code cleanliness and can still export portable code after the preprocessing
(or you could export the preprocessor with the code). One of the nice things
about gotos is that you can map any control structure into them.  I don't
think this is something that should be part of the "real" language.
