Note Submitter: dagoodboy at gmail dot com ---- From "Go To Statement Considered Harmful: A Retrospective" by David R. Tribble "Dijkstra's belief that unstructured goto statements are detrimental to good programming is still true. A properly designed language should provide flow control constructs that are powerful enough to deal with almost any programming problem. By the same token, programmers who must use languages that do not provide sufficiently flexible flow control statements should exercise restraint when using unstructured alternatives. This is the Tao of goto: knowing when to use it for good and when not to use it for evil." http://david.tribble.com/text/goto.html
