Performance vs. Structure

[J.T. Conklin]

I've been amused as various people have "Structured" the _doprnt
code by eliminating gotos.  I don't get it.  Is it really worth
increasing the formatted i/o bottleneck by eliminating gotos from
a library routine that may not be changed in years?

I don't advocate gratuitious use of gotos, but I find them perfectly
acceptable in low-level library routines and small state machines.
