Oh come on, if you carry on like that then while, if, switch, or indeed
any program flow construct is a goto. Well, at the machine level they
are of course, but thinking of them like that at the language level will
do you no favours.

It's a long time since compilers implemented try blocks using
setjmp/longjmp (spit) you know.

Cheers,
