Bridled use of goto

When reading research papers by Djikstra, I get nostalgic about UCSD grad school. And to this day I apply what I learned from this paper "Go To Considered Harmful".

Dijkstra argues against "unbridled use of the go to statement". But he appreciates "bridling its use". In particular, the "abortion clause".

I don’t often use goto but when I do I follow Dijkstra.
