I'm sure Ron will have his own response too, but:

One can reasonably contemplate upward-compatible extensions to C.
One CANNOT seriously consider removal of heavily-used features
such as "goto".  Since "goto" will be in the language anyway, it
can be used to accomplish what "break <label>" would.

I would hope that all participants in this discussion realize why
"goto" is thought ill of with respect to designing a NEW language.
