My vote is +1 for goto, just because that largely describes what it does and how it is used. I don't mind if it winds up being called jump, I just think it will be easier for people to find it when they need it if it is called 'goto'. 'goto' also comes with all the usual anti-goto propaganda that will help discourage people that shouldn't be using it from using it. --Wez.
