Considering that some don't accept exceptions to be a valid alternative to gotos, I don't think they'll accept a clearly OOP solution. And yes, I'm also still waiting for a code-generation example, but I guess we'll just assume that gotos are useful there (I use JavaCC, a Java-based top-down generator, so yes there's a lot of recursion but it looks pretty clean to me).
