It is absolutely false to believe a GOTO is bad, but an ITER or LEAVE is
good, in all cases by definition.  At the same time, it is absolutely true
that these are a matter of style, And a CONSISTENT style in ANY shop is
better than inconsistent styles, but not all styles are equal.  (Not saying
my style is all that good, either, but nonetheless these facts are gonna be
plainly self-evident to some folks.)

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the scope of GOTO much larger than ITER
and LEAVE?  When you execute an ITER or LEAVE you won't be placed any
further in the code than the loop you are in.  If you use a GOTO you could
potentially be placed anywhere  in the code that can have a TAG attached.

That is, IMO, what makes GOTO's bad and separates it from ITER and LEAVE.
