GOTOs are everywhere. The curly bracket closing a for loop is a GOTO. A break statement is a GOTO. Apparently people have an unhealthy fear when you actually call it "GOTO". Fragile souls, these. And all because some pompous ass named Dijkestra wrote an ACM letter that the ivory tower types all picked up, apparently due to fear borne from their insecurities that someone might label them a "poor" programmer.
