GOTO's and LABELS?!?!

Yeah, what about them? People easily balk at seeing a goto, but not all goto's are evil. There are two famous papers on the subject, Go To considered harmful, by E. Dijkstra (although it was C. Hoare that give the paper a title), but that paper doesn't say one should never use a goto - it warns for improper use. And then there's of course Structured Programming with Goto. By D. E. Knuth - perhaps the best Computer Scientist that ever lived.

Besides, aren't we all fond of next, last and redo? They are nothing but gloried gotos.
