Yes it *DOES* have this limiter as I've stated at least 4 times on this list and in the patch description itself. I can't tell you how encouraging it is to hear counter-arguments from people who havn't taken the time to explore the topic at hand. I would love to hear what these flaws are so that I can fix them. Regardless of whether or not GOTO is added to PHP I'd like to improve my ability to maintain and work on the language efficiently. -Sara
