Agreed.  Although I feel that most of the uses of GOTO in C these days
occurs in the output of something like LEX and YACC, where I really don't
mind it.  Just as long as 'mere mortals' try to avoid using it.

Can I work for you??  I mean, if you would deduct $50 from my pay every
time I use GOTO, I would rather spend the *over*time and write code that
avoids it!  :-)
