Hi,
Once upon a time almost all languages had "goto". Some programmers used it wisely and other programmers misused it and made tangled messes. Then some hairy researcher decided goto is always "Bad(tm)" so they hid all the gotos under switch, do/while, do/until, etc statements. Some programmers used the switch, do/while, do/until, etc wisely and other programmers misused the switch, do/while, do/until, etc statements and made tangled messes...
Cheers,
Brendan

For all things; perfection is, and will always remain, impossible to achieve in practice. However; by striving for perfection we create things that are as perfect as practically possible. Let the pursuit of perfection be our guide.
