Well they are completely different, and yes IMHO GOTO is bad. Probably the
reason it's not in FREE.

ITER goes to the top of a loop. LEAVE simply leaves a loop. GOTO can go
anywhere it wants.

are, except a fancy GOTO without an explicit TAG? I felt the same way
about CABxx (Case and Branch) when that was the popular new op-code!
