Re: IF NOT %FOUND

At the end of the day, ALL control opcodes are GOTOs.  Since this is a 
very strict one (returning to the beginning of the loop), then I 
personally don't consider as egregious as the GOTO:LABEL of olden 
times.  I prefer ITER to large nested IFs for multiple conditions.

But you have to remember, I worked on the Series/1.  Not only did we 
embrace the GOTO, we were able to programmatically modify the target of 
our GOTO at runtime.  Heck, we could change where our subroutines would 
RETURN to.  :)
