Terrance Wright suggested that this whole debate about
GOTOs and programming style was about over. How can
we finish it without a lament for the "good old days" of
(some) FORTRAN II (compilers) in which statements
could be labeled with alphameric labels, and when this
was appropriately done, then

GO TO HELL

became a perfectly valid Fortran statement? Further,
again with appropriately selected labels, one could
observe in comments that HELL could be found very
close to TEXAS (or whatever). I rather like Fortran 90,
but some of the opportunities for literary expression
and double entendre have been lost.
