So isn't using leave with a CMDLBL just a 'GOTO'?

In effect, for the processing of the code, yes they can be identical. However as coded in the source, for the effect of the compile, they can be somewhat dissimilar. If the code with the LEAVE is ever copied or moved, the compiler can catch an inherently illogical change, whereas that is effectively impossible with a GOTO which can go anywhere; only duplicate labels will be caught for both. Move a nested iterative out of its current nesting, and the referenced CMDLBL will cause the compile to fail, but the GOTO will not fail, and will almost surely cause nasty run-time effects.
